Question

in the figure below, ( wx = 15 ) and ( wy = 34 ). find ( xy ). ( xy=)

Explanation:

Step1: Use the segment addition postulate

From the figure, we know that \( WY=WX + XY\).

Step2: Solve for \( XY\)

Rearrange the formula to \( XY = WY - WX\). Substitute \( WX = 15\) and \( WY = 34\) into the formula: \( XY=34 - 15\).
Calculate \( 34-15 = 19\).

Answer:

\(XY = 19\)
