OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\dfrac{AB}{PQ} = \dfrac{BC}{QR} \) \(\dfrac{3}{9} = \dfrac{5}{QR} \) \(3(QR) = 5 \times 9\) \(QR = \dfrac{5 \times 9}{3} \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes, 15 is correct for QR.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\dfrac{AB}{PQ} = \dfrac{AC}{PR} \) \(\dfrac{3}{9} = \dfrac{4}{PR} \) \(3(PR) = 4 \times 9\) \(PR = \dfrac{4 \times 9}{3} \)
