Parallelogram PARL is similar to parallelogram WXYZ. If AP= 15, PL=25, and WZ= 75, Find the value of c.

To find the value of c, we need to find the ratio of corresponding sides of the two similar parallelograms.
Since the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms are proportional, we have:
PA/WX = PL/WY
Substituting the given values, we have:
15/75 = 25/WY
Simplifying, we get:
1/5 = 25/WY
Cross multiplying, we get:
WY = 5 * 25 = 125
So, the value of c is the length WY, which is 125.
Therefore, the correct answer is c = 125.
