The question has two similar triangles. The triangles are isosceles. 
In order for us to get the length of the sides of the other triangle, we can use ratio and proportion.

Triangle 1
side lengths = 24 mm 
base length = 16 mm

Triangle 2
side lengths = ?
<span>base length = 11 mm
</span>
24 : 16 = X : 11
24 / 16 = X / 11
16X = 264
X = 16.5 mm

So the length of the equal-length side of the other triangle.

You should let your emotions out. Don't hold them in that only makes it worse... Losing someone you love is very hard and i'm glad you're still here... You should try to vent to someone you trust so you can let everything out. I hope you're okay and i hope you know you're loved.

White raven [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The fact that it has the word "extraneous" in it should be enough to prove my point. In no situation should an essay be difficult to read or understand, given that the point of an essay is to educate.
