Question

Angle XYZ - Angle AYB and has a scale factor of k = 1/2. Solve for x.

a) x = 16
b) x = 35
c) x = 34
d) x = 6

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation XYZ = k * AYB, where the scale factor is k = 1/2, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we have angle XYZ = angle AYB. Given that the scale factor is k = 1/2, we can write the equation:

XYZ = k * AYB

Substituting the values, we have:

XYZ = (1/2) * AYB

Simplifying, we get:

XYZ = 1/2 * x

To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 2 * XYZ

Therefore, the answer is x = 2 * XYZ.
