Question

Find VW please. the picture is below

Answer 1

VW = 44

Explanation:

the line VX is parallel to ZY and intersects the other 2 sides of the triangle then it divides those sides proportionally , that is

`(ZV)/(VW)` =
`(YX)/(XW)` ( substitute values )

`(22)/(VW)` =
`(18)/(36)` =
`(1)/(2)` ( cross- multiply )

VW = 2 × 22 = 44
