Part 1) Finding x
Note the double tickmarks for segments XY and YZ. This indicates the segments are the same length, which leads to point Y being the midpoint of segment XZ.
Therefore, XZ is twice as long as XY
XZ = 2*( XY )
XZ = 2*( 2x-1 )
XZ = 4x - 2
We also know that XZ = 2(3x-4) = 6x-8. Let's equate 4x-2 and 6x-8 and solve for x
6x-8 = 4x-2
6x-4x = -2+8
2x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 3
<h3>Answer is 3</h3>
=====================================
Part 2) Finding the length of YZ
The resut of part 1 (x = 3) is plugged into the equation for XY to get
XY = 2*x-1
XY = 2*3-1
XY = 6-1
XY = 5
Segment XY is 5 units long. So is segment YZ as these two segments are the same length (aka congruent).
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=====================================
Part 3) Finding the length of segment XZ
The answer from the previous part was 5. This doules to 5*2 = 10
-----
A longer way to get the same answer is to plug x = 3 into the XZ equation and we get...
XZ = 2*(3x-4)
XZ = 2*(3*3-4)
XZ = 2*(9-4)
XZ = 2*5
XZ = 10
and we get the same answer
<h3>Answer: 10</h3>
Answer:
YES

Explanation:
If this is a right triangle we can then substitute the sides of the triangle (12 and 35) and the hypotenuse (37) into the Pythagoras Theorem and the two sides of the equation will be equal. If this is not a right triangle the two sides of the equation will not be equal.
The Pythagoras Theorem is

Because these are equal this is a right triangle.
rewrite -1 1/3 as a decimal: -1.5
-2.1 - x = -1.5
Subtract -2.1 From both sides:
X = -1.5 - -2.1 = -1.5 + 2.1
X = 0.6
Answer: B. 0.6
