Answer:

XS is 9 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 90^\circ with the line AB.

If B is on the line PQ, then BP = BQ = \frac{PQ}{2} and

\angle ABP = \angle ABQ = 90^\circ

Applying the above property in our given question.

Kindly refer to the attached image for the given dimensions.

S is on the line XZ.

XS = SZ = \frac{XY}{2} = \dfrac{18}{2} \\\Rightarrow \bold{XS = 9\ inches}

So, the answer is XS is 9 inches long.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

25 Months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the equations first,

Plan A: 70x   Plan B: 50x+500...

Now we make it into an equivalent equation:

70x=50x+500...

Then we solve:

70x=50x+500-50x -50x20x=500...

÷20 ÷20x=25...

To check if it's correct, we just plug it in:

70(25)=50(25)+500...

1750=1750...
