Explanation:

I just answered 1.

by using the principle of similar triangles (all angles are the same between the 2 triangles, and the ratio of a corresponding pair of sides is the same for all pairs of sides) we get

AB = 2×38 = 76

AC = 2×24 = 48

WX = CB/2 = 66/2 = 33

2.

the upper small triangle and the whole big triangle are similar triangles.

and we see the ratio of the legs is 1/2 (each leg of the small triangle is half of the leg of the large triangle).

therefore,

3x = 24/2 = 12

x = 12/3 = 4

3.

AC = 16

because the height of C splits the baseline precisely in half, it means that this is at least an isoceles triangle (both legs have the same length). therefore the answer.

AC = CB = 16.
