I got B but I'll show you how I got that answer.

Let's look at AB and BC. AB = 3 and BC = 4.
3/4 = 0.75

On the triangle, AB = 90. And BC = 10x - 20. We need to solve for x and prove that AB/BC = 0.75.

Let's start with Choice A.

10(11) - 20 = 90.

AB = 90
BC = 90.

90/90 = 1. It doesn't equal 0.75. Meaning this answer is wrong.

Now let's look at Choice B.

10(14) - 20 = 120.

AB = 90
BC = 120

90/120 = 0.75

So, 3:4 = 90:120 making Choice B the correct Answer. Let me know if this is correct
