Answer:

a. 12.5

Explanation:

Scale factor of ∆LMN to ∆XYZ = 2:5

To find length of side ZX, set the ratio of the corresponding sides of interest equal to the scale factor.

Thus:

ZX corresponds to NL = 5

NL:ZX = 2:5

5:ZX = 2:5

5/ZX = 2/5

Cross multiply

5*5 = ZX*2

25 = ZX*2

Divide both sides by 2

25/2 = ZX

12.5 = ZX

ZX = 12.5
