Question

How do I do this, I need help and it’s confusing me #2

Answer 1

If BX = 9 and BA = 15, we can say that the measure of AX = 6 because 15 - 9 = 6.

To solve the length of YC, we can have the following ratio:

`(BX)/(XA)=(BY)/(YC)`

BX = 9, XA = 6, BY = 15, YC = x

Let's plug these values to the ratio above.

`(9)/(6)=(15)/(x)`

Then, solve for x or the measure of YC.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Cross multiply.} \\ 9x=90 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 9.} \\ (9x)/(9)=(90)/(9) \\ x=10 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the measure of YC is 10 units.
