The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is $18$. Then,the length of its altitude is $\ldots \ldots \ldots$

If $\Delta ABC \sim \Delta XYZ$ under the correspondence $ABC \leftrightarrow XZY$,then $BC^2 : YZ^2 = \ldots \ldots \ldots$ (Wait,the question asks for $ABC : XYZ = BC^2 : \ldots$ which refers to the ratio of areas). Given $\Delta ABC \sim \Delta XZY$,the ratio of their areas is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides. Thus,$\frac{\text{Area}(\Delta ABC)}{\text{Area}(\Delta XZY)} = \frac{BC^2}{ZY^2}$.

In $\Delta XYZ,$ the bisector of $\angle X$ intersects $\overline{YZ}$ at $T$. If $XY = 10, XZ = 14$ and $YT = 5,$ find $YZ.$
