H
U
A) 6.6
C) 7
B) 5
D) 4

Answer 1

Given:

The figure of a triangle.

$IW= x-2$

$IU=2x-6$

To find:

The value of x

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that $VI$ is a median of the given triangle. It means $I$ divides $UW$ is two equal parts.

$IU=IW$

$2x-6=x-2$

$2x-x=6-2$

[tex]x=4/tex]

The value of x is 4. Therefore, the correct option is D.
