Answer 1

37

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment theorem states that a midsegment is half the measure of the line it is parallel to (the base). So VX is 1/2 of UY. So:

2(s-37)=s

2s-74=s

s=74

VX= 37

Answer 2

Answer: VX = 37

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

VX is a midsegment and it is half as long compared to the parallel side UY. This means UY is twice as long compared to VX

UY = 2*(VX)

s = 2*(s-37)

s = 2s - 74

s-2s = -74

-s = -74

s = 74

This makes UY be 74 units long

So VX = (1/2)*UY = 0.5*74 = 37
