AX : XB as AB : AC
AX = 5
XB = 4
AC = 6
AB = x
5 : 4 as to x : 6
ratios can also be written as fractions...
5/4 = x/6 ..now we have a proportion...so we cross multiply
(4)(x) = (5)(6)
4x = 30
x = 30/4
x = 15/2 <==== AB = 15/2

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with legs AB and AC. Points X and Y lie on legs AB and AC, respectively, so that AX:XB=AY:YC=1:2. If BY=16 units and CX=28 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse BC?
