Question

If UW=4t-16 and UY=t+14, find UY in Rhombus VWXY

Answer 1

`UY = 24`

Explanation:

UW can be set to equal UY, because the lines are the same lengths.

`4t - 16 = t + 14`

`3t = 30`

`t = 10`

So now that we found t, we need to find what UY is... So plugging 10 back in for t, we get:

`UY = 10 + 14\\UY = 24`
