Certainly! To solve for the variable "r," we will use the concept of similarity between figures.

Figures are similar if their corresponding sides are in proportion. Since Figure 1 and Figure 2 are similar, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides:

Side 1 of Figure 1 / Side 1 of Figure 2 = Side 2 of Figure 1 / Side 2 of Figure 2

Substituting the given values:

8m / 20m = 6m / r

To solve for "r," we can cross-multiply and solve the resulting equation:

8m * r = 20m * 6m

8r = 120

Dividing both sides by 8 to isolate "r":

r = 120 / 8

r = 15 meters

Therefore, the value of "r" is 15 meters.
