Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If XY bisects DF at point E, then DE = EF.

Given DE = 2y and EF = 8y-3

2y = 8y-3

subtract 8y from both sides

2y-8y = 8y-8y-3

-6y = -3

y = 3/6

y = 1/2

y = 0.5

DF = DE+EF

DF= 2y+8y-3

DF = 10y - 3

DF = 10(0.5)-3

DF = 5-3

DF = 2

kobusy [5.1K]

It is given that, B ≅ BC and AD ≅ CD  

We need BD perpendicular to AC, then only we can say  triangles AXB and CXB are congruent using the HL theorem.

If BD perpendicular to AC, means that AB and CB are the hypotenuse of triangles AXB and CXB respectively.

from the given information ABCD is a square

If BD and AC bisect each other then AX = CX

Then only we can  immediately possible to prove that triangles AXD and CXD are congruent by SSS congruence theorem

icang [17]
No it was not correct because if there is 12 inches in one foot and you divid 150 by 12 you get 12.6. Then you would multiply 12.6 and .15 and you would get 20.40. So you were charged extra with out tax.
