Answer:

LP = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

MQ/NP = LQ/LP

= 9/27

= 1/3

if LQ is 15 and is 1u, LP (3u) is 15 × 3 = 45

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{45}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by using ratios since the triangles are congruent.

[tex]\displaystyle \sf \frac{MQ}{NP} =\frac{LQ}{LP}[/tex]

Let the length of LP be x.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{9}{27} =\frac{15}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply.

[tex]9x=15 \times 27[/tex]

[tex]9x=405[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{9x}{9} =\frac{405}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x=45[/tex]
