Answer:

A. 3

Explanation:

ΔDEC is bigger than ΔABC by 5. For the hypotenuse, 25 is 5 times bigger than 5.

So, side DE on ΔDEC has to be 5 times bigger than side AB on ΔABC.

If side AB equals 3, side DE equals 18 - 3, which is 15.

15 is five times bigger than 3, so the answer is A. 3.

Hope that helps.
