Given that
YS is the perpendicular bisector of XZ.
Length of XZ = 18 inches
To find:
Length of XS = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about the perpendicular bisector.
Perpendicular bisector of a line <em>AB</em> is a line <em>PQ</em>, which divides the line AB in two equal parts and is at an angle of with the line AB.
If B is on the line PQ, then and
Applying the above property in our given question.
Kindly refer to the attached image for the given dimensions.
