      In triangle XYZ, UV is drawn parallel to side YZ. If XU =

      10 cm, UX = 6 cm, and XV = 15 cm, find XZ.
      A 24 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 17 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other sides proportionally.

      (XU / UX) = (XV / VZ)

      => (10 / 6) = (15 / VZ)

      => VZ = (15 × 6) / 10 = 9 cm

      So, XZ = XV + VZ = 15 + 9 = 24 cm
