### Problem 7
**Given:** \(\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF\) and the perimeter of \(\triangle DEF\) is 36.
**Question:** What is the length of the longest side of \(\triangle DEF\)?
**Solution:**
- **Side Ratios and Lengths:**
- Side \(A\): \(\frac{5}{x}\)
- Side \(B\): \(\frac{27}{36}\)
- Side \(C\): \(\frac{6}{x}\)
- **Setup Equations:**
- \(5 + 27 + 6 = 27 \rightarrow x = 12\)
- Length of longest side is marked as 21.

### Problem 8
**Given:** \(\triangle ABC \sim \triangle XYZ\) and the area of \(\triangle ABC\) is 18.
**Question:** What is the area of \(\triangle XYZ\)?
**Solution:**
- **Triangles Similarity:**
- \(\triangle ABC\) with \(\triangle XYZ\)
- Given \(\triangle ABC\) area = 18.
- **Ratios and Calculations:**
- Side \(A\): \(\frac{32}{18} = \frac{z}{x}\)
- Area calculation shows answer marked as 32.
