The length of VX equals to 80
Below I show my work of how I found the missing length.

To find the missing length, you pick the starting location. Then go in any direction and then do the same to the other side. Then write a ratio.

I decided to start at 46 and then go downward.

46/23=x/17

Then you cross multiply

43*17=x*23

782=23x

Divide 23 on both sides

X=34.

Then add 34 by 46 to get the length of VX.

Below is a picture of notes on how to solve these types of problems.
