In The Diagram Below Of Triangle UVW X Is A Midpoint Of UV And Y Is A Midpoint Of VW If MZXYV 7x 21 And MZUWY 91 7x What Is The Measure Of ZXY V X Y U W class=

Sagot :

Given:

In triangle UVW, X is the midpoint of UV and Y is the midpoint of VW.

[tex]m\angle XYV=7x+21[/tex]

[tex]m\angle UWY=91-7x[/tex]

To find:

The measure of angle XYV.

Solution:

Since X is the midpoint of UV and Y is the midpoint of VW, therefore XY is the mid-segment of the triangle UVW and parallel to the base of the triangle, i.e., UW.

If a transversal line intersect two parallel lines, then the corresponding angles are congruent and their measures are equal.

[tex]\angle XYV \cong \angle UWY[/tex]         [Corresponding angle]

[tex]m\angle XYV=m\angle UWY[/tex]

[tex]7x+21=91-7x[/tex]

We need to solve this equation for x.

[tex]7x+7x=91-21[/tex]

[tex]14x=70[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{70}{14}[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Now,

[tex]m\angle XYV=7x+21[/tex]

[tex]m\angle XYV=7(5)+21[/tex]

[tex]m\angle XYV=35+21[/tex]

[tex]m\angle XYV=56[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle XYV is 56 degrees.
