Question

Xz Is the prependicualr disector of segment WY. WY=66. Solve for k. Enter a number only.

Answer 1

k = 4

Explanation:

A perpendicular bisector is defined as a line or a line segment that divides a given line segment into two parts of equal measurement.

So WX = XY or WX = 1/2 WY

using WX = 7k + 5 and WY = 66

7k + 5 = 66/2

7k = 33 - 5

7k = 28

k = 4
