Question

VWXY is a parallelogram. Find the measure of XY and WY

Answer 1

Answer:

WY = 30

XZ = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Paralellogram's diagonal's bisect eachother

Therefore,

$n + 7 = 3 n$

Move the n over,

2n = 7

Divide both sides by 2,

n = 3.5

WY = 2(ZY) because definition of bisector

Simplify...

WY = 2(4n+1)

WY = 2(4(3.5)+1)

WY = 2(15)

WY = 30

You asked for XY, but the question asks for XZ, so I'm going to give XZ.

With n = 3.5 from above,

XZ = 3n

XZ = 3(3.5)

XZ = 10.5
