If UX is a median of triangle UVW and XV = 4.6, find VW. - 2.3 - 4.6 - 5.9 - 9.2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

See the diagram, |dw:1365957265244:dw|

OpenStudy (ash2326):

UX is a median, so it'd divide VW into two equal parts, VX and VW. Can you find the answer now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.3?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

VW= VX+XW VX=XW

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Try again, there is a mistake @monica10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my first guess was 4.6 but then the VW line is smaller

OpenStudy (ash2326):

|dw:1365957834108:dw| VX is the small arrow, VW is the big one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooh i see what you mean so 5.9

OpenStudy (ash2326):

How do you say it's 5.9? Read my posts again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry forgot to add 4.6 and 4.6 together. i got 9.2, i notice the line inbetween vx and vw so i added 4.6 to 4.6 and got 9.2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

You're right :D VX is the median here, which divides VW into two equal parts.
