Question

2) Find x if IW = x -2 and IU = 2x - 6
H
U
A) 6.6
C) 7
B) 5
D) 4

Answer 1

Given:

The figure of a triangle.

`IW= x-2`

`IU=2x-6`

To find:

The value of x

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that
`VI` is a median of the given triangle. It means
`I` divides
`UW` is two equal parts.

`IU=IW`

`2x-6=x-2`

`2x-x=6-2`

[tex]x=4/tex]

The value of x is 4. Therefore, the correct option is D.
