Question

Find the length of side VW

Answer 1

Answer: VW=11

4y+3=5y+1

2=y

5(2)+1

11

Answer 2

46 units.

Explanation:

To find the perimeter, you need to add up all the sides. Knowing this, we can set up an equation to solve for y.

2(5y + 1) + 2(4y + 3) = 170

10y + 2 + 8y + 6 = 170

18y + 8 = 170

18y = 162

y = 9

Now that we know y = 9, we can solve for vw.

vw = 5(9) + 1

vw = 45 + 1

vw = 46

Therefore, line vw is 46 units.
