Answer:

n  = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles share the same angle measures, so they are similar triangles.  The side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other, so we can set up a proportion and solve for n...

16 is to 20 as 24 is to n

16/20 = 24/n       now solve for n by cross multiplying

16n = 480

   

     n = 30      (divide both sides by 16)
