Question

Someone help me out it’s timed!!

Answer 1

XZ = 42

Explanation:

By the property of similar triangles,

"If two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides will be proportional."

By applying the property of similarity in ΔABC and ΔXYZ,

`(AB)/(XY)= (BC)/(YZ)= (AC)/(XZ)`

`(4)/(24)=(8)/(48)= (7)/(XZ)`

`(1)/(6)= (7)/(XZ)`

XZ = 42

Therefore, length of unknown side XZ = 42 units.
