Soln-
In ΔXYN and ΔXOP,
∠YXN = ∠PXO (interior angle)
∠NYX = ∠POX (alternate interior angle)
∵ ΔXYN ∼ ΔXOP (by AA properties)
The ratio of the sides of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides
⇒ XY/OX = XN/PX
⇒ 18/27 = XN/PX
⇒ XN/PX = 2/3 ----(1)
In ΔPXZ and ΔOXN,
∠PXZ = ∠NXO (alternate interior angle)
∠XZP = ∠XON (alternate interior angle)
∵ ΔPXZ ∼ ΔNXO (by AA properties)
The ratio of the sides of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides
⇒ (ZY + YX)/XO = PX/XN
⇒ (ZY + 18)/27 = 3/2 (from equation, 1)
⇒ 2 × ZY + 36 = 81
⇒ ZY = 45/2
∴ ZY = 22.5
