Interpreting "triangle ABC - triangle XBY" to mean triangle ABC is similar to triangle XBY (A↔X, B↔B, C↔Y). Then corresponding sides satisfy
AC / XY = AB / BX.
So 8 / 6 = 16 / BX → (4/3) = 16 / BX → BX = 16 · (3/4) = 12.
Answer: BX = 12 cm.
AC / XY = AB / BX.
So 8 / 6 = 16 / BX → (4/3) = 16 / BX → BX = 16 · (3/4) = 12.
Answer: BX = 12 cm.
