Point V is between B and D. Sketch each figure and find the value of x for BV = x , VD = 13.9, BD = 30

Question

Please add the work. Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Point V is between B and D. Sketch each figure and find the value of x for BV = x , VD = 13.9, BD = 30

x 13.9

_____________________________

B V D

|-------------------30--------------------------|

BV + VD = BD. We find BV by replacing each with the values given in the problem.

x + 13.9 = 30

- 13.9 = -13.9

----------------------

x = 16.1
