Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

To determine

To find: The values of x and y for given triangle.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 17WE

The length of x and y are 4 units and 2 units respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The triangle is shown below:

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 5.3, Problem 17WE

The line segment joins the midpoints of triangle sides. Length of sides are 3x−2y and 8 . Length of midsegment and base of triangle are 7 and 5x−3y respectively.

Calculation:

Line segment passes through the midpoint of the side of triangle.

Hence,

3x−2y=8x=(8+2y)3 ...... (1)

According to the midsegment theorem, the length of midsegment is half of the base of triangle.

Hence,

7=12(5x−3y)14=5x−3y5x=14+3y (From eq(1))5((8+2y)3)=14+3y40+10y=42+9yy=2 units

Substitute 2 for y in equation (1) as follows:

x=(8+2(2))3=4 units

Thus, the length of x and y are 4 units and 2 units respectively.
