Hello! :)

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{BC = 6.4 }[/tex]

Given ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, we can set up a proportion to solve for BC, where:

[tex]\frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{BC}{EF}[/tex]

Let BC = x:

[tex]\frac{8}{15} = \frac{x}{12}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]8 * 12 = 15 * x[/tex]

[tex]96 = 15x[/tex]

[tex]x = 6.4[/tex]

Therefore, BC = 6.4 units.

Hope this helped you!
