Ответ:

Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides must be the same. Let's use the ratio of the shorter sides:

5/15 = x/20

where x is the length of the missing side.

Simplifying the equation, we get:

1/3 = x/20

Multiplying both sides by 20, we get:

x = 6.67

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the length of the missing side is 7.

Therefore, the answer is not provided in the given options.
