The dilated triangle is similar to the original triangle, so corresponding sides are proportional and corresponding angles are congruent. Since the scale factor is 2, each side of the larger triangle is twice as long as the corresponding side of the smaller triangle. So, for example, AC = 2(XY) and ∠Z ≅ ∠B.
