Answer:

BC = 28 $\frac{1}{3}$ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{AX}{AB}$ = $\frac{XY}{BC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{12}{20}$ = $\frac{17}{BC}$ ( cross- multiply )

12BC = 340 ( divide both sides by 12 )

BC = $\frac{340}{12}$ = $\frac{85}{3}$ = 28 $\frac{1}{3}$
