Warm-Up: Perpendicular Bisector
1.
What is WY? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: WY = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Due to WX being a Perpendicular Bisector WY = WZ
4x - 5 = 2x + 11
Add 5 to both sides
4x = 2x + 16
Subtract 2x from both sides
2x = 16
Divide by 2
x = 8
So 4x - 5 of x = 8
4*8 = 32 - 5 =27
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
WY = WZ because XZ = XY
[tex]2x + 11 = 4x - 5\\(2x + 11) - 11 = (4x - 5) -11\\2x = 4x - 16\\-2x = -16\\x = 8\\\\WY = 4x - 5\\WY = 4(8) -5\\WY = 32 - 5\\WY = 27[/tex]
