Answer:

  • 10 cm, 15 cm

Explanation:

Set ratios and solve for x

Corresponding sides are AC with A'C' and CB with C'B'

  • AC/A'C' = CB/C'B'
  • (x - 1)/2 = (x + 4)/3
  • 3(x - 1) = 2(x + 4)
  • 3x - 3 = 2x + 8
  • 3x - 2x = 8 + 3
  • x = 11

Find the values of AC and CB:

  • AC = x - 1 = 11 - 1 = 10 cm
  • CB = x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15 cm
