Question

In the figure below ABC is similar to XYZ. What is the length of ZX. ENTER ONLY THE NUMBER AS AN INTEGER OR DECIMAL.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar the corresponding sides can be multiplied by a ratio to get the length

1). 5 divided by 1.25 is equal to 4. Alternatively you could do 12 divided by 3 is equal to 4.

2). Therefore you can take CA, which is similar to ZX, and take the length of CA which is 13. So you take 13 and divide it by 4 to get an answer of 3.25 for ZX.  

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer would be 3.25
