Answer:

25

Explanation:

Similar Triangles have proportional sides:

Side BA is proportional to YX

Side BC is proportional to YZ

Side AC is proportional to XZ

Now Triangle XYZ is a scaled down version of Triangle ABC. To find the scale factor of this change, we can divide the proportional sides together.

10/2 = 5 and 15/3 = 5

Therefore the 5 scale factor.

So all you have to do is multiply 5 by 5 (25) and you will get the missing side BC :)
