Quadrilateral LMNO is similar to quadrilateral PQRS. Find the measure of side QR. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

56, 37, and 23 are the numbers

I need to know which given number labels which side. When two quadrilaterals are written as LMNO ~ PQRS the corresponding vertices (and sides) are L↔P, M↔Q, N↔R, O↔S, so MN corresponds to QR.

To find QR you need the similarity scale factor k = (a side of PQRS)/(the corresponding side of LMNO) — for example k = PQ/LM — then
QR = k · MN.

If your three numbers 56, 37, 23 mean LM = 56, MN = 37, and PQ = 23 then
k = PQ/LM = 23/56,
so QR = (23/56)·37 = 851/56 ≈ 15.2 (to the nearest tenth).

If the numbers label different sides, tell me which number goes with which side and I’ll compute QR exactly.
