Answer:

C ) 48

Explanation:

To begin, you have to figure out which angles correspond on the two triangles.

So here are the angles that correspond:

U = N

T = M

S = L

So, ST would be similar to LM so 32 and 8 will be similar.

And UT will be similar to NM so the missing length and 12 are similar.

To begin, find out the scale factor by dividing 32 by 8 to get 4.

Then, multiply 12 by 4 to get 48 for the missing length.
