STEP 1
Assumptions1. The length of segment XY is11. The length of segment YZ is4c3. The length of segment XZ is834. Point Y is between points X and Z5. The lengths of segments XY, YZ, and XZ are related by the equation XY + YZ = XZ
STEP 2
First, we need to set up the equation that relates the lengths of the segments XY, YZ, and XZ.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the lengths of the segments XY, YZ, and XZ into the equation.
STEP 4
Next, we need to isolate the variable c in the equation. We can do this by subtracting11 from both sides of the equation.
STEP 5
Calculate the right side of the equation.
STEP 6
To solve for c, divide both sides of the equation by4.
STEP 7
Calculate the value of c.
STEP 8
Now that we have the value of c, we can find the length of segment YZ by substituting c into the expression for YZ.
STEP 9
Plug in the value of c into the expression for YZ.
STEP 10
Calculate the length of YZ.
The value of the variable c is18 and the length of segment YZ is72.
