Answer:

a = 28, b = 12, c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of corresponding sides between the triangles is 4 to 7, or 4/7 (comparing small triangle to the large one).

Set up proportions.

[tex]\frac{16}{a}=\frac{4}{7}\\\\4a=112\\\\a=28[/tex]

Next, find b.

[tex]\frac{b}{21}=\frac{4}{7}\\\\7b=84\\\\b=12[/tex]

Finally,

[tex]c=21-b=21-12=9[/tex]
