Question

I don’t understand any of this

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given triangles in the picture attached,

∠A ≅ ∠X [Given]

∠B ≅ ∠Y [Given]

By AA property of similarity of the triangles, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔXZY

Similarity statement:

Corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.

$\frac{XZ}{AB}= \frac{ZY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}$

Similarity ratio:

$\frac{XY}{AC}=\frac{24}{16}$

      = $\frac{3}{2}$

      = 3 : 2
