Thanx, but here's some more info for UV = x + 6, UY = x - 1; YV?

Question

In the figure, WY bisects UV at Y and UY bisects TW at X. For each situation, find the value of x and the measure of the indicated segment.

Answer 1

Segment WY bisects segment UV at point Y, and segment UY bisects segment TW at point X. Find the algebraic measure of segment YV.

This problem dosent sound right unless there are two different figures because, if segment WY bisects segment UV at point Y, then segment UY cannont bisect segment TW at X because that point X would be at the same point as point Y which makes the problem void or invalid.

Answer 2

okay . . since UV is being bisected (cut in half) . . UY = YV. Since they are equal and you already know what UY is . . 2 of UY will equal the whole segment UV.

So you can set up an equation:

2 (UY) = UV
2 (x - 1) = x + 6
2x - 2 = x + 6
-x -x
1x - 2 = 6
+2 +2
1x = 8

So x = 8

Then substitute the value of x to find the length of each segment:

and UV = x + 6 = (8) + 6 = 14

UY = x -1 = (8) - 1 = 7

and since UY = YV . . YV = 7

Hope this isn't too confusing!

Answer 3

i think that u could use a graphing calculator if you want the answer. but sry i couldnt help, i really wanted 2 be smart and be the only 1 2 get it right! : (
