Answer: PQ = 18 unit.

Explanation: Since, according to question, \triangle ABC\sim\triangle PQR .

Therefore, by the property of similar triangles the ratio of corresponding sides must be equal.

Here, The right angle are at A in \triangle ABC and at Q in \triangle PQR respectively.

Moreover,  \angle A is congruent to \angle P and \angle C is congruent to \angle R.

Therefore, AB, BC and AC are corresponding to sides PQ, QR and PR respectively.

Thus, we can write, \frac{AB}{PQ} =\frac{BC}{QR} =\frac{AC}{PR}

⇒\frac{AB}{PQ} =\frac{BC}{QR}

⇒\frac{6}{PQ} =\frac{8}{24} ( because, here, AB= 6, BC=8 and QR=24)⇒  PQ=18
