Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a proportion to solve for the missing side length - a/c = b/d.
- AB = XY
- BC = YZ
4/2 = 6/s cross-multiply
4s = 12 divide by 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because these triangles are similar, their sides exist in proportion to one another. Their angles are exactly the same. but their sides are proprtionate IF they are similar. We are told they are so setting up the proportion:
and cross multiply:
4s = 12 so
s = 3
You could also look at the fact that the height of the larger triangle is 4 and the height of the smaller is 2, so the larger is twice as big as the smaller; likewise, the smaller is half the size of the larger (that means the same thing). So if the larger side is 6, half of that is 3.

Answer:
EBGA
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is isosceles (XZ = YZ), so the base angles are congruent. The total of all three angles in the triangle is 180 degrees, so subtracting out 52 leaves 128 degrees for the two base angles together. Each base angles measures half of that, so , code E.
Look at vertex Y. The big angle there also measures 64 degrees.
Angle 3 is a vertical angle with the 88 degree angle, so its measure is also 88 degrees (code G).
Finally, angle 4 is an exterior angle in the small triangle that contains angles 2 and 3. In that triangle, angles 2 and 3 are the remote interior angles.
