Parallelogram PARL is similar to parallelogram WXYZ. If AP = 7, PL = 15, and WZ = 45, find the value of c.

To find the value of c, we first need to find the scale factor between the two similar parallelograms.
The scale factor (k) can be found by setting AP/WZ = PL/c:
7/45 = 15/c
c = 45(15)/7
c = 45(2.142857)
c ≈ 96.43
Therefore, the value of c is closest to 96 or option 2.
