Question

Find the value of c and YZ if Y is between x and z

XY= 5.5, YZ= 2C, XZ=8.9​

Answer 1

c=1.7 YZ=3.4

Explanation:

took test got it right!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

If Y is between x and z, then XY+YZ = XZ. Given XY= 5.5, YZ= 2C, XZ=8.9​

substituting the given values into the firmula to get c we will have;

5.5+2C = 8.9

Subtract 5.5 from both sides

5.5+2C-5.5 = 8.9-5.5

2C = 3.4

Divide both sdies by 2;

2C/2 = 3.4/2

C = 1.7

Since YZ = 2C, substitute C = 1.7 into the function

YZ = 2(1.7)

YZ = 3.4
