Solution:
- Here, in triangles UVW and UWX,
Angle V = Angle X [given]
Angle VWU = Angle XWU [given]
UW = UW [common]
- So, triangle UVW is congruent to triangle UWX.
- By c.p.c.t., VU = XU
- Given, VU = s+16, XU = 3s
- Therefore, VU = XU
or, s + 16 = 3s
or, 16 = 3s - s
or, 2s = 16
or, s = 8
Answer:
The value of s is 8.
