Answer:
Option D is correct.
VS = 20 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is contained in the attached image to this answer.
From the image attached and the additional information about the triangles, it is evident that that triangle VSW is similar to triangle QSR.
Hence, we can write the ratio as
(VS/QS) = (VW/QR)
VS = 2a
QS = 2 × VS = 2 × 2a = 4a
VW = 2a - 2
QR = 3a + 6
(2a)/(4a) = (2a - 2)/(3a + 6)
Cross multiplying,
2a (3a + 6) = 4a (2a - 2)
3a + 6 = 2 (2a - 2)
3a + 6 = 4a - 4
4a - 3a = 6 + 4
a = 10
VS = 2a = 20 units.
Hope this Helps!!!

Answer: Length = 28 feet and width = 9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = width of the wall.
Then, Length of the wall = 10+2x
Since , Area of rectangle = length x width
Then, as per given,
Since width cannot be negative , so x = 9
So width = 9 feet and length = 10+2(9)=10+18 = 28 feet
Hence, length is 28 feet and width is 9 feet of the wall of the barn.
