Question

If UW=4t-16 and UY=t+14, find UY in Rhombus VWXY

Answer 1

Answer:

$UY = 24$

Step-by-step explanation:

UW can be set to equal UY, because the lines are the same lengths.

$4t - 16 = t + 14$

$3t = 30$

$t = 10$

So now that we found t, we need to find what UY is... So plugging 10 back in for t, we get:

$UY = 10 + 14\\UY = 24$
