Given;

ABCDE is similar to VWXYZ

so, the corresponding segments are proportional

We need to find the length of XY

XY is corresponding to CD

CD = 1.2 cm

Finding another two corresponding sides

DE = 3.2 cm , YZ = 4 cm

so,


\begin{gathered} (XY)/(CD)=(YZ)/(DE) \\ \\ (XY)/(1.2)=(4)/(3.2) \\ \\ XY=(4)/(3.2)\cdot1.2=1.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

So, the length of XY = 1.5 cm
