Question

Pls help me solve for length XY pls show how you got the answer

Answer 1

XY = 4.75 cm

Explanation:

Δ VXY and Δ VWZ are similar so the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(XY)/(WZ)` =
`(VX)/(VW)` , substitute values

`(XY)/(2.5)` =
`(4.5+5)/(5)` =
`(9.5)/(5)` ( cross- multiply )

5 XY = 23.75 ( divide both sides by 5 )

XY = 4.75 cm
