Question

WY
is a midsegment of △VXZ.
If VZ=36, what is WY?

Answer 1

The required dimension WY is solved to get 18

How to find WY

The dimension of WY is solved using similar triangle that involves midsegment.

In this case, the proportion is in the form

WY / VZ = 1/2

WY / 36 = 1/2

WY = 36/2

WY = 18
