ΔABC is similar to ΔAXY by a ratio of 5:3. If BC = 25, what is the length of XY?

Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem statement, ...
BC : XY = 5 : 3 = 25 : 15 . . . . . . . multiply each ratio value by 5
The length of XY is 15.

Comment on the figure
Clearly, the figure is not to scale. Not only is XY not parallel to BC, but AY is not 3/5 of AC.
