In order to solve the equation, set up a proportion. Use the similar sides together!

1. 16/8 = x/20.... Similar sides are in one ratio and they equal another ratio...."x" represents the side of VS

2.Solve for "x" by cross multiplying: 8x = 320

3. Divide by 8 to find "x": x = 40

Side VS equals 40. Hope this helped :)
