    If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

    5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

    Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

    x = (5/6) * 9

    x = 7.5
