Answer:

b=9

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

find the common ration

AB is 6, and XY is 3 (they are the corresponding sides)

ratio is 2 to 1 (6/3=2/1)

AC corresponds with YZ

XY is 4.5 so b is 4.5*2=9

ZY corresponds with CB

CB is 11, since XYZ is the smaller divide by 2 instead of multiplying by 2
