To find the length of \( MN \) in centimeters using proportions, we can set up the equation according to the relationships given in the problem.
The most appropriate proportion from the options you have provided is:
**\(\frac{10}{10} = \frac{MN}{8}\)**
This proportion is valid because it sets a relationship between \( MN \) and the known quantity (8) relative to a base (10).
To solve for \( MN \), you would cross-multiply and rearrange to find the value of \( MN \).
So, the proportion that can be used to calculate the length of \( MN \) in centimeters is:
**\( \frac{10}{10} = \frac{MN}{8} \)**.
(Note: However, in practical scenarios proportions are usually set like \( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \) where \( a, b, c, d \) are known relationships or measurements.)
