Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(3)/(9)=(4)/(x)`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

In this problem

Triangle XVW is similar to triangle XZY

therefore

`(YZ)/(VW)=(XZ)/(XV)`

substitute the given values

`(x)/(4)=(9)/(3)`

`x=3*4=12\ miles`
