Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What does the information want:</u>
- value of x
- value of y
<u>Let's gather some information</u>:
- ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles
⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles
⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel
lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the
same line AB
⇒ by the <em>Angle-Angle Theorem*</em>, they are similar triangles
<u>If they are similar triangles</u>:
⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other
- let's find x's value
⇒ let's set up a proportion
- let's find y's value
⇒ let's set up a proportion
<u>Answer:</u>
- <u>x= 17.143</u>
- <u>y = 26.25</u>
Hope that helps!
