Question

In the figure below, triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR. What is the length of side PQ? (picture attached)

Answer 1

Flip the 2nd triangle and create a proportion. Does that help, or should I give you the proportion too?

Answer 2

would the proportion be: 11.5 over 34.5 times x over 12? or is that wrong?

close, more like

11.5/34.5 = 12/x

where x is the length of PQ
