Question

AABC is similar to AAXY by a ratio of 4:3. If BC = 24, what is the length of XY?

OXY = 18
OXY = 32
OXY = 6
OXY = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

OXY=18

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of AABC to AAXY is 4:3 so the lengths will be in that ratio too. The ratio of BC:XY is 4:3. BC is 24 so 24:XY is 4:3. You need to divide 24 by 6 to get 4 so multiply 3 by 6 to get the answer 18.
