Concept explainers

Angles within a circle are feasible to create with the help of different properties of the circle such as radii, tangents, and chords. The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference of the circle. A tangent is a line made p…

Arcs in Circles

A circular arc is the arc of a circle formed by two distinct points. It is a section or segment of the circumference of a circle. A straight line passing through the center connecting the two distinct ends of the arc is termed a semi-circular arc.

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°).

Chapter 7.1, Problem 7PSA

To determine

To Calculate:The measure of side AY.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 7PSA

The measure of AX=9

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The following information has been given

WX=18

Formula used

: The midline theorem has been used for similar triangles

AYWX=12

Calculation:We know that in triangles XWZ and YAZ

Z is the common angle

AY is parallel to WX

Hence, by midline theorem stated in the book, we can say that

AYWX=12

Hence, substituting the value of WX=18 , we can say that

AX=9
