Question 2705: triangle ACD is congruent to tiangle XZY, and DB and WY ARE medians.If DB=6 AB=6, WY=2x+1 and XY=x+4 what is XY

The congruence of triangles ACD XZY means the correspondence
A<-->X, C<-->Z and D<-->Y
Also, DB<-->YW means B<-->W.


Hence, DB= 6= 2x+1,
So, to solve for x, x = 5/2 and we have XY = x+4 = 6.5
