Question

in triangleABC xy||BC AY/CY = 1/2 And AX= 4CM Find the BX​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that:

In △ABC,XY∥BC,

CY

AY

=

2

1

and AB=4

To find:

BX=?

Solution:

Since,

CY

AY

=

2

1

∴

AC

AY

=

3

1

Now, XY∥BC

∴△AXY∼△ABC

or,,

AC

AY

=

AB

AX

or,

3

1

= AB4

or, AB=12

∴BX=AB−AX=12−4=8
