Given: rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle ZBXY. If ZY = 5, XC = 3, DC = 4, then XY =

Answer:

The length of XY is either 10 or 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ZY = 5, XC = 3 and DC = 4.

Case 1: Rectangle ABCD is smaller than ZBXY.

The opposite sides of the rectangle are same.

$ZY=BC+XC$

$5=BC+3$

$2=BC$

The length of ABCD is 4 and width of ABCD is 2. The width of ZBXY is 5. The corresponding sides of the similar rectangles are is in the same proportion.

$\frac{4}{XY}=\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{4\times 5}{2}=XY$

$10=XY$

Therefore the value of XY is 10.

Case 2: Rectangle ABCD is larger than ZBXY.

$ZY=BC-XC$

$5=BC-3$

$8=BC$

The length of ABCD is 4 and width of ABCD is 8. The width of ZBXY is 5. The corresponding sides of the similar rectangles are is in the same proportion.

$\frac{4}{XY}=\frac{8}{5}$
