Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ find the missing side x using proportions

x=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to set this problem up proportionally, you have to make sure to set the triangles correspondingly.

AC/BC=XY/YZ

50/40=x/20 Solve for x, you can use cross multiply method

40x=100

x= 2.5

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
