Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the right angle, AC is the opposite side - hypotenuse.

Use Pythagorean and find the missing side, AB:

  • [tex]AB = \sqrt{AC^2-BC^2} = \sqrt{13^2-5^2} =\sqrt{144} =12cm[/tex]

There is no info given to link the triangles ABC and XYZ and hence can't provide solution to any dimension of XYZ.

If the scale factor was given as k, then XZ would be:

  • XZ = k*BC = 5k
