Geometry help PLZ!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The similar triangles are shown in the attached photo.

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XZY. Therefore,

AB/XZ = BC/ZY = AC/XY

From the dimensions given,

(x-8)/45 = (2x - 8)/24

Cross multiplying,

24(x-8) = 45(2x - 8)

24x - 192 = 90x - 360

Collecting like terms and making the terms containing the variable, x be on the left hand side and the constants be on the right hand side,

24x - 90x = -360+92

-66x = -268

x = 268/66

x = 4.06

x = 4
