I'm going to out on a limb and say 16 in.
4 pieces * 4 in. = 16

Answer:
Just see that the first expression has all negative, meaning the total will be a negative, but the second expression the subtraction sign and the negative sign are together, there's a rule when two negative sign's are together/next to each other, they turn into a addition sign, so it basically 8 + 20 for the second expression, so 8-(-20) has a higher result
Step-by-step explanation:
There's no work needed to be done :P
A) Scale factor:
Divide 2 congruent sides:
24 / 36 = 0.667
From PQR to XYZ is a 0.667 (2/3 as a fraction) scale factor.
B) Volume = (1/2 x base x side) x height:
Volume = 1/2 * 36 x 48 = 864 * 15 = 12,960 cubic inches.
C) Find the height of the prism:
7776 = (1/2 * base * sides) x height
7776 = (1/2 x 36 x 48) * height
7776 = 864 * height
Height = 7776 / 864 = 9 inches.
The scale factor is 2/3, the height of XYZ = 2/3 *9 = 6 inches.
Volume of XYZ = 1/2 x 24 x 32 = 384 x 6 = 2,304 cubic inches.
