Question

If AWXY is an isosceles triangle with WX XYfind and the measure of each side

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

given WX ≅ XY , then

6x - 77 = 3x + 4 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

3x - 77 = 4 ( add 77 to both sides )

3x = 81 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 27

Then

WX = 3x + 4 = 3(27) + 4 = 81 + 4 = 85

so WX = XY = 85

WY = 5x - 31 = 5(27) - 31 = 135 - 31 = 104
