Question
**Instructions:**

The polygons are similar. Find each missing side.

1. **Problem 1:**
   - Two rectangles are shown.
   - First rectangle: one side is 7 units and the opposite side is 10 units.
   - Second rectangle: one side is missing (marked with a question mark) and the opposite side is 15 units.

2. **Problem 2:**
   - Two trapezoids are shown.
   - First trapezoid: top side is 12 units, bottom side is 34 units, and a leg is missing (marked with a question mark).
   - Second trapezoid: top side is 15 units, bottom side is 25 units.

3. **Problem 3:**
   - Two triangles are shown.
   - First triangle: one side is 10 units, base is 14 units.
   - Second triangle: one side is missing (marked with a question mark), base is 7 units.

**Right Section (Answer Inputs):**

- **Pretend the question mark is x.**

1. X = [Input box for Problem 1]
2. X = [Input box for Problem 2]
3. X = [Input box for Problem 3] 

Each section asks to solve for the missing side, assuming similarity in shapes.
