Answer:

The missing side length is 36

Explanation:

You need to find the ratio of the dilation so if you take corresponding sides, for example, 72 and divide by 8 you get 9. So, if you multiply each side of the triangle XYZ by 9, it should get the length of the sides on triangle ABC.

4 * 9 = 36

Hope this helps! :)
