Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and cos ∠X = 2 and 5 tenths over 5 and 59 hundredths.

Part A: Use complete sentences to explain the special relationship between the trigonometric ratios of triangles XYZ and ABC. You must show all work and calculations to receive full credit. (5 points)

Part B: Explain how to find the measures of segments AC and AB. You must show all work and calculations to receive full credit.

AC and AB are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

ac and ab are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
