In rectangle WXYZ, WY=19 YZ=7 WZ=21 WX XY XZ YT WT ZT

Shaypop:

Nobody not gone help me

Shaypop:

I'm stressing out

Shaypop:

Like fr

Shaypop:

It's properties of quadrilaterals

Shaypop:

If u know how to do it

snowflake0531:

Maybe screenshot the question, since I have utterly no clue what it's talking about

Shaypop:

Can I take a pic of it

snowflake0531:

sure, just let me see exactly how the question is asked

Shaypop:

snowflake0531:

Firstly, that is so blurry. Secondly, I need to be able to see the thing on the right?

Shaypop:

Ok

Shaypop:

snowflake0531:

the letters are so blurry.... I- Is it possible to post a clearer picture? lol

Shaypop:

Ok

snowflake0531:

Thank you!

Shaypop:

U welcome

snowflake0531:

Okay, so, you should first know, that by looking at ^^^ pic WX = YZ WY = XZ WZ= XY So, by these, I believe that you already can figure out a lot of the problems

Shaypop:

So wz=XY is 10.5 right

Shaypop:

I'm talking about the others

snowflake0531:

Sorry, I left~

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shaypop So wz=XY is 10.5 right \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) The question gave you WZ is 21, so, XY must also be 21

Shaypop:

I mean wt= zt

ScamTheMan:

Okay let's identify what we know. We know that: WY = 19 YZ = 7 WZ = 21 Let's create an image for this real quick: |dw:1615341816599:dw| From this, we know a few of the answers already. WX = YZ XY = WZ XZ = WY Meaning these values are the same.

ScamTheMan:

Now to find the missing three, which all have the same value, we need to split our WZ or XY value in half. Our equation is: \[21/2=?\]

Shaypop:

Y'all got the letters wrong

Shaypop:

It's WX XY xz YT WT and zt

ScamTheMan:

Since the figure is congruent, the opposite sides are going to have the same values. Meaning that WX will have the same value as YZ, which is 7.

Shaypop:

Ok

ScamTheMan:

|dw:1615342136093:dw|

ScamTheMan:

Now we can assume this: |dw:1615342184749:dw|

ScamTheMan:

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Shaypop:

Yes

Shaypop:

Now what the answer to xy

ScamTheMan:

Well XY would be equal to it's opposite side, WZ. And as said before, WZ is 21. Meaning that XY would be the same value.

Shaypop:

Ok

Shaypop:

What's yt

Shaypop:

Do you have to divide by 2

ScamTheMan:

Yes, we divide YX in 2 to find the value of the side.

Shaypop:

No it is YT

ScamTheMan:

Yes I know, I'm saying that we divide the value of YX by 2 to derive the answer of YT

Shaypop:

Ok

Shaypop:

So it 19 divided by 2

ScamTheMan:

No. We know that XY is equal to WZ. WZ is equal to 21, meaning XY is also equal to 21. Meaning our equation is 21/2, not 19

Shaypop:

21 divided by 2

ScamTheMan:

Yes, you can simply just insert that into a calculator and get an answer. The answer you get will be the value of YT, XY, and WT.

Shaypop:

10.5

Shaypop:

10.5 is the answer

Shaypop:

10.5 is the answer

Shaypop:

Text fast please I don't wanna do this all night

Shaypop:

Is it 10.5

ScamTheMan:

Sorry, yes that is our answer! Great job!

Shaypop:

Is 10.5 for what letters

ScamTheMan:

That's the value for YT. However since XT and WT are congruent to YT, it's the answer for them as well.

Shaypop:

I thought wt is 9.5

ScamTheMan:

Why would you think WT is 9.5?

Shaypop:

Look at zt

ScamTheMan:

ZT is an unknown value. By dividing 21/2, we are deriving the answer to ZT. And since WT. YT, and WT have the same exact value, they'll all be 10.5

Shaypop:

Thank u

ScamTheMan:

Yes of course I'm happy to help! <3

Shaypop:

I have another one

ScamTheMan:

Make a new question and I'll be more than happy to help you
