Answer:
im pretty sure its C. X=4 but im not positive.
Answer:
(c) Triangle Z Y X is similar to triangle C B A
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles are similar when corresponding sides have the same ratio. Corresponding sides will have corresponding end point vertices. The similarity statement lists corresponding vertices in the same order.
__
<h3>corresponding sides</h3>
The side lengths, smallest to largest, for the two triangles are ...
- 3 cm -- ZY
- 6 cm -- YX
- 7 cm -- XZ
And for the other triangle, ...
- 6 cm -- BC
- 12 cm -- AB
- 14 cm -- AC
<h3>corresponding vertices</h3>
The points joining the each side to the next one longer, in order for the two triangles, are ...
Y, X, Z and B, A, C
The vertices corresponding to ZYX in the same order are CBA.
triangle ZYX is similar to triangle CBA
So we are trying to find the numerator of 42 in relation of 6/7.
42 divided by 7= 6 So 6 x 6 from the numerator of 6/7 = 36.
So 6/7 written as a fraction with a denominator of 42 is 36/42.
