Answer:
∠ WZX = 50°
XW is not an altitude.
Step-by-step explanation:
16. See the attached figure.
XW is the angle bisector of ∠ YXZ, hence, ∠ WXY = ∠ WXZ
Now, given that ∠ YXZ = 8x + 34 and ∠ WXY = 10x - 13
Hence, ∠ YXZ = 2 ∠ WXY
⇒ 8x + 34 = 2(10x - 13)
⇒ 8x + 34 = 20x - 26
⇒ 12x = 60
⇒ x = 5.
Hence, ∠ XZY = ∠ WZX = 10x = 50° (Answer)
Now, ∠ WXZ = ∠ WXY = 10x - 13 = 37°
Hence, from Δ WXZ,
∠ WZX + ∠ WXZ + ∠ XWZ = 180°
⇒ 50° + 37° + ∠ XWZ = 180°
⇒ ∠ XWZ = 93° ≠ 90°
Hence, XW is not an altitude. (Answer)
Hi there!
Since triangle RST is stated with the sides in order (R is connected to S, which is connected to T, which is then connected to R), the side between R and S is T.
Hope this helps!

For the answer to the question above, If you've noticed, the statement mentioned "a number". Let's assign x to be the number. The first statement is twice a number (2x). Then, decreased by the quotient of that number and 2 (-x/2). Lastly, the statement at least 12 is written as >12.
So the answer is
2x - (x/2) >12
1) the small and large triangles are similar, then we can write:
x/24 = 8/18
Cross multiplication → 18x = 24.8 → 18x = 192 and x = 192/18
and x = 32/3 Or 10 ²/³
2) Δ ABC is similar to Δ EDC Since:
∠A = ∠D = 90°
∠C is common
