Answer:

The ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC is \frac{9}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

In this problem

Triangles XBY and ABC are similar, because the corresponding internal angles are congruent

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z-------> the scale factor

z=\frac{BY}{BC}

we have

BY=3\ units

BC=2+3=5\ units

substitute

z=\frac{3}{5}

step 2

Find the ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

we have

z=\frac{3}{5} -----> scale factor

so

z^{2} =(\frac{3}{5})^{2} =\frac{9}{25}

Hi!

The answer is one

When you solve this system of equations you get an answer for y and an answer for x.

It looks kinda like this: x=3, y=-4

Thus, your answer is one solution

I hope this helps!

It could be C because 504 is the closest to 1024
