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!

follow me please.
Step-by-step explanation:
x-c/d>y
d(x)-d(c/d)>d(y)
dx-cd-d^2>dy
dx>dy+cd+d^2
dx>d(y+c+d)
dx/d>d(y+c+d)/d
x>d(y+c+d)/d

Answer:
the Bision is 10 miles / hour faster if he could keep it up
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
Therefore the bison can run [3520 feet / min] * [60 min ] =211288 feet in an hour.
Now you have to convert 212200 to miles. Do this by dividing by 5280
212200/5280 = 40 miles.
Kind of hard to believe isn't it. 40 miles is a long way when you are running it.
The bison is faster by 10 miles / hour.
This can be done all in 1 step if you know how to do dimensional analysis
3520 feet / minute * [ 60 min/ hour ] * [ 1 mile / 5280 feet] = 40 miles
