Answer:
∠ YVZ = 56°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ WVZ = 90° ( given ), thus
∠ WVY + ∠ YVZ = 90, substitute values
2x + 3x + 5 = 90
5x + 5 = 90 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
5x = 85 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 17
Thus
∠ YVZ = 3x + 5 = 3(17) + 5 = 51 + 5 = 56°
The answer is C

Answer:
about 22.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire can run diagonally across the floor and, from the intersection with the wall, diagonally up the wall. The total length is computed per the hint to be ...
d = √(18^2 +13^2) = √493 ≈ 22.20 . . . . feet
___
If the wire were to go up the short wall, its length would be ...
d = √(11^2 +20^2) = √521 ≈ 22.83 . . . . feet
