Question

Find the length of BC.
A.) 14
B.) 9
C.) 2
D.) 3

Answer 1

A) 14

Explanation:

BC is congruent to DC in saying this you can plug the equations to each other and solve for y and then put its back into the equation for BC to get the length.

3y+5=5y-1

subtract 3y from both sides --> 5=2y-1

add 1 to both sides --> 6=2y

now get y alone, divide by 2 by both side --> y=3

plug y in back to 5y-1 --> 5x3-1

15-1

BC = 14
