Answer 1

AC=10cm

BC=15cm is your answer

Answer 2

• 10 cm, 15 cm

Explanation:

Set ratios and solve for x

Corresponding sides are AC with A'C' and CB with C'B'

• AC/A'C' = CB/C'B'
• (x - 1)/2 = (x + 4)/3
• 3(x - 1) = 2(x + 4)
• 3x - 3 = 2x + 8
• 3x - 2x = 8 + 3
• x = 11

Find the values of AC and CB:

• AC = x - 1 = 11 - 1 = 10 cm
• CB = x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15 cm
