Answer:

From left to right picture,

Scale factor = 2/3

x = 24

y = 12

z = 21

Explanation:

Look at the two figures and identify the sides where both lengths are known.

That is the top right-hand side.

Scale factor is hence 18/27 = 2/3

Next, find x, y and z:

Bottom left-hand side: 16/x = 2/3

x = 3/2 x 16

x = 24

Bottom right-hand side: y/18 = 2/3

y = 18 x 2/3

y = 12

Top left-hand side: 14/z = 2/3

z = 3/2 x 14

z = 21
