Question

What is the value of a?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{5\dfrac{1}{3}\ units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔZYW and ΔWYX are similar. Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{ZY}{YW}=\dfrac{YW}{YX}$

We have:

$ZY=3,\ YW=4,\ YX = a$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{4}{a}$          cross multiply

$3a=(4)(4)$

$3a=16$          divide both sides by 3

$a=\dfrac{16}{3}\\\\a=5\dfrac{1}{3}$
