Answer: XY = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the triangle XYZ is shown in the attached photo.
XY=XZ. This means that two sides of the triangle are equal. Two angles are also equal. It means that the triangle XYZ is an isosceles triangle.
Since XY=XZ, then
2a = 5a - 12
Subtracting 2a from both sides of the equation,
2a - 5a = 5a - 12 - 5a
-3a = -12
a = -12/-3
a = 4
Therefore, the length of XY is 2a = 2×4 = 8
