Answer:

x = 40.375

Explanation:

ΔYVH and ΔYBA are similar. Therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:


(YH)/(YA)=(YV)/(YB)

We have


YH=x,\ YA=17,\ YV=16+22=38,\ YB=16

Substitute:


(x)/(17)=(38)/(16) cross multiply


16x=(17)(38) divdie both sides by 16


x=((17)(38))/(16)\\\\x=40.375
