Answer:

15

Explanation:

If we accept that the left side of the left triangle corresponds to the left side of the right triangle, then the scale factor is 6/8 = 3/4. By multiplying the scale factor by the bottom side of the first triangle, you'll get the corresponding side of the right triangle: 20 * 3/4 = 15.
