Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.

For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15

For ABC, it is 20,

so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'

x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)

So:

20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4

Which is C

Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!

Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:

x * 20 = 15 * 15

I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!

Answer:

First of all, rectangles and rectangular prisms have one foremost difference, which is their dimensions. A rectangle has two dimensions whilst a rectangular prism has three. Those dimensions include width, length, and height- but a rectangle has only width and length. Although, in comparison, they're both made from the same quadrilateral: rectangles. A "2D" rectangle has one, while a "3D" rectangle, or rectangular prism, is made of six. The rectangles that make up a rectangular prism can also be referred to as faces.
