Answer: Read the solution

Explanation:

A. For diagram A, triangles ANC and BDE are similar. Thus, we can use similarity ratios to find the length of AC. (x+1)/12 = (x+5)/15. 15x+15=12x+60. Thus 3x=45, and x=15. Since we need to find AC, AC = 15+1 = 16.

B. For diagram B, triangles SRT and VUT are similar. Again, using similarity ratios, (4x-1)/14=(x+2)/6 or 14x+28=24x-6. 10x=34, x=3.4.
