Question

Find YW. YW = _

I just need the answer for YW no explanation needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

$YW=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other

The figure XYZW is a parallelogram

so

VW=VY

VX=VZ

Find the value of b

VW=VY

substitute the given values

$b+8=5b$

solve for b

$5b-b=8\\4b=8\\b=2$

Find the length of YW

$YW=YV+VW$ ----> by addition segment postulate

$YW=5b+b+8$

substitute the value of b

$YW=6(2)+8=20\ units$
