Question

Given square WXYZ. If ZY = 20, find WV. Write your response in the form WV=_____.

Answer 1

Answer:

14.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall :

The sides of a square are always equal ;

Since all sides are equal, the the diagonal of the square will be :

XZ² = XY² + WX²

XZ² = 20² + 20²

XZ² = 400 + 400

XZ² = 800

XZ = √800

XZ = 28.28

WY = XZ

WV = 1/2 WY

WV = 1/2 * 28.28

WV = 14.14
