To find the missing side, we can set up a proportion based on the similarity of the triangles:
AB/XY = BC/YZ = AC/XZ
Using the given values, we can set up the proportion as follows:
25/10 = x/6
Cross multiply to solve for x:
10x = 150
x = 15
Therefore, the missing side in triangle ABC is 15.
find the missing side ?
ABC ~ XYZ
triangle ABC: 25, x and ?
triangle XYZ: 10, 6, 8
