Based on the above, the Triangle XYZ and ACB are known to be similar triangles since tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths;

Hence:

  • AC = 2 x  XY
  • CB = 2  x YZ

What is the triangle about?

From the question given; Triangle XYZ is known to have been dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form a type of triangle known as triangle  ACB, So therefore, XYZ and ACB are known to be the same or similar triangles.

Since Angles Y and C are known to both measure 90 degrees, and angles A and X are said to be congruent. Therefore:

tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths

AC = 2  x  XY

CB = 2  x  YZ

For part B:

cosX=Base/Hypotenuse

cos A=AC/AB

AC =  2.05

AB = 5.59

Therefore, Based on the above, the Triangle XYZ and ACB are known to be similar triangles since tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths;

Hence:

  • AC = 2 x  XY
  • CB = 2  x YZ
