Sherry draws a triangle. The length of side AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 12 inches. The length of side AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 9 inches. She wants to draw a line XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ that is parallel to BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. If she draws point XX 3 inches from BB, how far from point AA does she need to draw point YY so that XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∥BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯?

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).
