Question

Given: WZ is perpendicular to VY, WZ bisects VY, VZ = 2x+2, and ZY = 3x-4

What is VY?

18
28
14
6

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

VZ = ZY

2x +2 = 3x -4

6 = x . . . . . . . . add 4-2x to both sides

VZ = 2x +2 = 2(6) +2 = 14

Now we can find VY.

VY = VZ + ZY = 14 + 14 . . . . . . VY is the total of the two halves

VY = 28
