Answer:
24 unit
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using concept of basic proportionality theorem,
according to this theorem, if a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.
Example:
let there be a triangle ABC
if DE is drawn parallel to BC such that D is a point on line AB and E is other point on AC, then
AD/DB = AE/EC (basic proportionality theorem)

Similarly in this problem
15/5 = ?/8
3= ?/8
? = 8*3 = 24
Thus. missing segment value is 24 unit.
