Question

if VX is the bisector of 10 years ago

Answer 1

@misssunshinexxoxo @triciaal

Answer 2

will give medal if you solve it

Answer 3

and fan

Answer 4

What do you know about angle bisectors?

Answer 5

that's a broad question

Answer 6

Not a broad question tbh

Answer 7

Well I know that bisector divides an angle in half into two equiangular angles

Answer 8

If VX is the bisector of v, then UX = XW

Answer 9

You're right. :)

Answer 10

Thanks ;)

Answer 11

If they are in half, it means that they are equal, correct?

Answer 12

What is UX and XW?

Answer 13

equal angles?

Answer 14

UV = VW

Answer 15

yes :) now plug in the numbers

Answer 16

perimeter is the sum of the lengths

Answer 17

But he needs to find z first. :)

Answer 18

yea I know that what do I do to solve?

Answer 19

UX=3z-4 and VW=z+6

Answer 20

if UX and VW are equal, then...?

Answer 21

so 3z-4=z+6

Answer 22

yes, now do the math.

Answer 23

you need help? just find z.

Answer 24

is it gonna come out to a decimal

Answer 25

No.

Answer 26

\[3z-4=z+6\]
\[2z=10\]
\[z=5\]

Answer 27

No, plug in 5 to z.

Answer 28

Have you noticed that UV has no side length? Have you also noticed that Angle X is a right triangle?

Answer 29

I meant angle VXU. So that means that angle VXW is also right triangle, right?

Answer 30

yea

Answer 31

Have you plugged in 5 in the equations?

Answer 32

yea still haven't got my answer

Answer 33

Plug 5 in 3z-4.

Answer 34

Plug in 5 in z+6.

Answer 35

where do I plug it in

Answer 36

Z.

Answer 37

the answer isn't 11 though

Answer 38

They are both 11, right? Now, since the to equation is in the same side, this means that they should be added together.

Answer 39

So 11+11=?

Answer 40

the answer isn't 22 either

Answer 41

that's just one side!!!! you need to add 3 sides. I'm giving you baby steps lol

Answer 42

So we already have 22. Now, plug in 5 in the next equation which is 5z-1.

Answer 43

What's the answer?

Answer 44

46??

Answer 45

WHat is the answer in 5z-1?

Answer 46

24

Answer 47

Good! Now, didn't I say that there are to right angles? What are they? This is to solve for the third side.

Answer 48

two**

Answer 49

Look at the picture. :)

Answer 50

I don't remember we've spent awhile on this one problem and I still have 9 more after this and a time limit plus ive been working on this since 1:30 and its 10:23 I really just want to get it done

Answer 51

If you would understand what I'm trying to say, then we should be done by now.

Answer 52

Or you can guess. :/

Answer 53

I know you're right my brain is shutting down im so tired but I need to get this done and no I tried that I wish you would just show me how to get to the answer in your response with the answer in there I learn a lot better that way

Answer 54

So you do realize that 24 is the other side too, right?

Answer 55

There I gave you the answer. Of course you can add the three sides, right?

Answer 56

yes thank you so its 70

Answer 57

thanks for bearing with me only 9 more yay lol

You can do it! Please mention me so I can be notified that you replied. :)

Answer 59

Hope you can give me a medal though.

Answer 60

And be a fan, if that's what you want. :)
