14. On GeoGebra, use the compass and straightedge, construct right triangle AXYZ such that 4Y is a right angle and mLX = 60. Then construct the atlitutde from Y to XZ. Draw a quick sketch of your GeoGebra work below so you can complete parts b and c with the rest of your short answer (your GeoGebra work will not be visible to you once I close the classroom) b. Fill in the blanks: AXYZ~A c. Complete the extended proportion: XY - XZ YZ

Question
This is a geometry question. I’ve already constructed the shape and only need help on parts b and c.
Title: Constructing and Analyzing Right Triangles in GeoGebra

**Activity Instructions:**

14. Use GeoGebra to construct a right triangle \( \triangle XYZ \) by using the compass and straightedge tools. Ensure that angle \( \angle Y \) is a right angle and \( m\angle X = 60^\circ \). After constructing the triangle, draw the altitude from point \( Y \) to side \( \overline{XZ} \).

**Task:**
Draw a quick sketch of your GeoGebra work below to complete parts b and c. Remember, your GeoGebra work will no longer be visible once the classroom activity is closed.

**Exercises:**

**b. Similarity Relationships:**
Fill in the blanks for the following similarity statement:
\[ \triangle XYZ \sim \triangle _____ \sim \triangle _____ \]

**c. Proportionality:**
Complete the extended proportion based on your triangle construction:
\[ 
\frac{XY}{____} = \frac{XZ}{____} = \frac{YZ}{____} 
\]
