Notice the correspondence between the vertices of the polygons:


VQRGX\approx CNPMS

Corresponding segments of similar polygons are proportional. Then:


(CS)/(VX)=(PM)/(RG)

Substitute VX=48, PM=22 and RG=16.5 and solve for CS:


\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow(CS)/(48)=(22)/(16.5) \\ \Rightarrow CS=(22)/(16.5)*48 \\ \Rightarrow CS=64 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the length of CS is 64.
