The rest of the question is the attached figure.
============================================
Δ AYW a right triangle at Y ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WA² = AY² + YW²
And AY = YB ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WA² = YB² + YW²   → (1)
Δ BYW a right triangle at Y ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WB² = BY² + YW²  → (2)
From (1) , (2)  ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WA = WB  →→ (3)
Δ CXW a right triangle at Y ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WC² = CX² + XW²
And CX = XB ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WC² = XB² + XW²   → (4)
Δ BXW a right triangle at Y ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WB² = XB² + XW²  → (5)
From (4) , (5)  ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ WC = WB  →→ (6)
From (3) , (6)
WA = WB = WC
given ⇒⇒⇒ WA = 5x – 8 and WC = 3x + 2
∴ <span> 5x – 8 = 3x + 2</span>
Solve for x ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ x = 5
∴ WB = WA = WC = 3*5 + 2 = 17

The correct answer is option D. WB = 17

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 8)^2 = h^2

(3x + 2)^2 = l^2

5x - 8 = 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 8 + 2

2x = 10

x = 5

WB = 5x - 8

WB = 5(5) - 8

WB = 17

Illusion [34]

Answer:

first get a common denominator  by multiplying 7 and 4 to get  28

28 is our common denominator here.

(2/7) * (4/4)   and    (1/4) * (7/7)

(2/7) * (4/4)   +   (1/4) * (7/7) =  8/28  + 7/28 = 15/28
