traingle LMN ~ triangle TUV

How long is segment LN and how long is segment UV?



On triangle LMN LM=15 MN=27

On triangle TUV TU=10 TV=20

Sides LM & TU are congruent on each triangle

Sides MN & UV are congruent

Sides LN & TV are congruent

I don't understand how to find the missing sides of LN & UV on each triangle? Do I multiply or divide

I don't see how you can say that LM ≅ TU, and then say that LM=15 and TU=10.

Also, when you say LMN ~ TUV that implies that the vertices are listed in the same respective order. That is,

LM ~ TU
MN ~ UV
NL ~ VT

But that's not the case here.
