Question

In the sketch below, AABC is similar to AXYZ. Find the length of side b.

Answer 1

Given

triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ

Find

length of side b

Step-by-step explanation

Since both triangles are similar. So ratio of there sides will be equal

`\begin{gathered} (AB)/(XY)=(AC)/(XZ) \\ \\ (15)/(10)=(b)/(8) \\ \\ b=(3)/(2)*8=3*4=12 \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

Length of side b is 12
