Answer to Question #130952 in Geometry for Natalie Jensen

Question

y is between x and z. t is between y and z. if xz= 82, yt=22, and xy=tz. what is tz?

Answer 1

xz = XY+YT+TZ

XY = TZ

Next,

82 = XY + 22 + TZ

XY +TZ = 82-22

XY + TZ =60

XY = TZ =60/2 = 30

XT = XY + YT = 30+ 22 =52

Answer: TZ =30.
