Question

Geometry

does anyone know how to solve this? if you could explain it'd be very much appreciated thank you!

Answer 1

a) 3

b) 9

c) 18

Explanation:

a) A is the midpoint of XY, which means XA is congruent to AY.

XA ≅ AY

3x = 5x − 6

6 = 2x

x = 3

b) AY = 5x − 6

AY = 5(3) − 6

AY = 9

c) XY = XA + AY

XY = 2AY

XY = 18
