Question

PLS HELPIf TW =7, WV =2, and UV =12, find XV to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The answer is very simple.

We can use the triangle proportionality theorem to solve this exercise.

The ratios are:

`(WV)/(TW)\text{ = }(XV)/(UV)`

Those are the relations between the sides .

`(2)/(7)\text{ = }(XV)/(12)`
`(2)/(7)\cdot12=XV`
`XV=(24)/(7)=3.428`

The solution is :

XV = 3.43
