line segment yv of rectangle yvwx measures 24 units. what is the length of line segment yx?
By definition, the rectangle area is given by:
\(A = w * l\)
Where,
w: width of the rectangle
l: length of the rectangle
Substituting values we have:
\(A = (yv) * (yx)
A = (24) * (yx)\)
Therefore, the value of wx is given by:
\(yx = \frac{A}{24}\)
Answer:
the length of line segment yx is:
\(yx = \frac{A}{24}\)
Answer:
\(yx=8\sqrt{3}\ units\)
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the given rectangle
\(xw=yv\)
\(yx=vw\)
\(tan(30\°)=\frac{vw}{xw}\)
solve for vw
\(vw=xwtan(30\°)\)
we have
\(xw=yv=24\ units\)
\(tan(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\)
substitute
\(vw=(24)\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\)
\(vw=8\sqrt{3}\ units\)
remember that
\(yx=vw\)
so
\(yx=8\sqrt{3}\ units\)
