Question 819031: If you have 2 triangles and the first one has a side of 37.5 and the bottom is N and the second triangle has a side of 15 a side of 17 and the bottom side is 8. What is the missing side

Does the bottom or the first triangle correspond to the bottom with 8 units of the second triangle? Are both triangles oriented the same way? You seem to suggest this is a proportion for similar triangles and that ; and that the 17 unit length on the second triangle is not a necessary part of the question.
