Question

Triangles and Parallel Lines‼️ Find UV? WU=18, WX=8, XY=20.

Answer 1

UV = 45

Explanation:

From the diagram, Δ WXY and Δ WUV are similar.

Thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(XY)/(UV)` =
`(WX)/(WU)`, substitute values

`(20)/(UV)` =
`(8)/(18)` ( cross- multiply )

8UV = 360 ( divide both sides by 8 )

UV = 45
