Please explain this one! And show your work.

Answer 1

VW = 43.2

Explanation:

First, we can see that VZ = 88 - 55 = 33.

Then by the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, we can write that:

`\displaystyle (55)/(33)=(72)/(VW)`

Simplify:

`\displaystyle (5)/(3)=(72)/(VW)`

Cross-multiply:

`216=5VW`

So:

`\displaystyle V=(216)/(5)=43.2`
