Question

Triangle XYZ is reflected over its hypotenuse to create a kite.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 9.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The angle between line XZ and line XY is given by:

$x = atan (\frac{12}{5})\\x = 67.38$

Then, the height from vertex Y to horizontal line XZ is:

$h = 5 sine (67.38)\\h = 4.62$

Then, the distance from Y to Y 'is given by:

$YY '= 2h\\YY '= 2 (4.62)\\YY '= 9.2$

Answer:

the approximate distance from Y to Y 'is:

D. 9.2 units
