The parallel lines XY and AC is an illustration of similar triangles
The value of YC is 12 units
How to determine the length of YC
From the question, we have:
Parallel lines XY || AC
This means that:
BA : BX = YC : BY
Substitute known values in the above ratio
15 : 10 = YC : 8
Express the ratio as fractions
[tex]\frac{15}{10} = \frac{YC}{8}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]1.5 = \frac{YC}{8}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 8
[tex]YC = 12[/tex]
Hence, the value of YC is 12 units
