The image shows two triangles. The larger triangle is labeled A B C. The length from A to B is 15. The length from A to C is b. The length from B to C is 9. The smaller triangle is labeled X Y Z. The length from X to Y is 10. The length from X to Z is 8. The length from Y to Z is x. If triangles ABC and XYZ are similar, what is the length of side x?

In triangle ABC, AB = 2.2 cm, BC = 1.5 cm, and AC = 2.3 cm. In triangle XYZ, XY = 4.4 cm, YZ = 3 cm, and XZ = 4.6 cm. Find the ratio AB:XY, BC:YZ, AC:XZ. Are the lengths of corresponding sides of ABC and XYZ in proportion? [Hint: Any two triangles are said to be in proportion if their corresponding sides are in the same ratio.]
