Answer:

68.1

Explanation:

If those angles are congruent, then all side lengths follow the same ratio.

So the smaller triangle side length of 9 over the small side length of the bigger triangle 21.5, is the ratio for all the sides.

9/21.5 = unknown side / 48

unknown side = 48 * 9/21.5

So to find the length of CD, multiply 48 by our ratio to get ~ 20.1

Add that to our 48 and we get 68.1
