Answer 1

Answer: 20

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, allowing us to form a proportion

The vertical sides pair up on one side, the horizontal sides pair up on the other side. Divide in the same order.

QV/RT = VS/TS

5/3 = x/12

12*5 = 3x ... cross multiply

60 = 3x

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

VS = 20
