Given:
Mid point of side AB = X
Mid point of side AC = y
AB = 5.6cm,
AX = 1.4cm ,
AC = 7.2cm and
XY || BC
To Find:
Value of AY
Solution:
Let the value of AY be = x
Since, XY || BC, therefore by BPT theorum -
AB/AX = AC/AY
5.6/1.4 = 7.2/x
x = 7.2 × 1.4 / 5.6
x = 10.08/ 5.6
x = 1.8
Answer: The measure of side AY is 1.8cm

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Mid point of side AB = X
Mid point of side AC = y
AB = 5.6cm,
AX = 1.4cm ,
AC = 7.2cm and
XY || BC
To Find:
Value of AY
Solution:
Let the value of AY be = x
Since, XY || BC, therefore by BPT theorum -
AB/AX = AC/AY
5.6/1.4 = 7.2/x
x = 7.2 × 1.4 / 5.6
x = 10.08/ 5.6
x = 1.8
