Question

72.2 is incorrect :( i don’t know how to solve this (Geometry)

Answer 1

AC and DB are the same length. Set the two to equal each other and solve for y.

9y + 1 = 8y +17

Subtract 8y from both sides:

y + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from each side:

y = 16

Now you know Y you can find the the length of DB:

DB = 8y +17 = 8(16) +17 = 128 + 17 = 145

EB is half of DB:

EB = 145 / 2

EB = 72.5
