Answer:
CU = 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have similar triangles, we can use proportions. Put the small triangle sides over the large triangle side.
WC WD
----------- = -------------
WU WV
26 20
----------- = -------------
36x-1 110
Using cross products
26*110 = 20* (36x-1)
Distribute
2860 = 720x - 20
Add 20 to each side
2860+20 = 720x-20+20
2880 = 720x
Divide by 720
2880/720 = 720x/720
4=x
We need to find CU
CU = WU - WC
Substituting in what we know
CU = 36x-1 -26
Since we know x=4
= 36*4 -1 -26
144 - 27
= 117
The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C. For example, 2x+3y=5 is a linear equation in standard form. When an equation is given in this form, it's pretty easy to find both intercepts (x and y). This form is also very useful when solving systems of two linear equations.
