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

Match each equation with its solution set. Tiles a2 − 9a + 14 = 0 a2 + 9a + 14 = 0 a2 + 3a − 10 = 0 a2 + 5a − 14 = 0 a2 − 5a − 1
sattari [20]
We have that

N 1)
a²<span> − 9a + 14 = 0 
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² − 9a)=-14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² − 9a+20.25)=-14+20.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a-4.5)²=6.25--------> (a-4.5)=(+/-)√6.25

a1=4.5+√6.25-----> a1=7

a2=4.5-√6.25-----> a2=2

the solution problem N 1 is the pair {7, 2}


N 2) 

a²<span> + 9a + 14 = 0
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 9a)=-14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² +9a+20.25)=-14+20.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+4.5)²=6.25--------> (a+4.5)=(+/-)√6.25

a1=-4.5+√6.25-----> a1=-2

a2=-4.5-√6.25-----> a2=-7

the solution problem N 2 is the pair {-2,-7}

N 3) 

a² + 3a − 10 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 3a)=10

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² + 3a+2.25)=10+2.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+1.5)²=12.25------> (a+1.5)=(+/-)√12.25

a1=-1.5+√12.25-----> a1=2

a2=-1.5-√12.25-----> a2=-5

the solution problem N 3 is the pair {2, -5}


N 4)

a²<span> + 5a − 14 = 0
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 5a) =14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² + 5a+6.25) =14+6.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+2.5)² =20.25-------> (a+2.5)=(+/-)√20.25

a1=-2.5+√20.25-----> a1=2

a2=-2.5-√20.25-----> a2=-7

the solution problem N 4 is the pair {2, -7}


N 5) 

a² − 5a − 14 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² − 5a)=14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² − 5a+6.25)=14+6.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a-2.5)²=2025--------> (a-2.5)=(+/-)√20.25

a1=2.5+√20.25-----> a1=7

a2=2.5-√20.25-----> a2=-2

the solution problem N 5 is the pair {7, -2}
