To find the missing values, we need to identify the scale factor between the corresponding sides of the two triangles.

The scale factor, k, can be found by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides of the two triangles. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of the corresponding side of the image triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle.

For side QR:
k = QR'/QR = 56/7 = 8

Now, we can use the scale factor to find the missing values:
RS' = k * RS = 8 * 9 = 72 in
QS' = k * QS = 8 * 4 = 32 in

Therefore, RS' = 72 in and QS' = 32 in.
