Question

if xyz congruent to ayb, and xy = 24 yards, yz = 30 yards, and ya = 8 yards, then what the length of YB

Answer 1

answers are:
12 yards

10 yards

25 yards

15 yards

Answer 2

To solve the problem, we are given that triangle \( XYZ \) is congruent to triangle \( AYB \) (i.e., \( XYZ \cong AYB \)). This means that the corresponding sides of the triangles are equal.

From the information provided:

- \( XY = 24 \) yards
- \( YZ = 30 \) yards
- \( YA = 8 \) yards

Since the triangles are congruent, we can set up the following relationships based on the corresponding sides:

1. \( XY \) corresponds to \( AY \)
2. \( YZ \) corresponds to \( YB \)
3. \( XZ \) corresponds to \( AB \)

Thus, we have:

- \( XY = AY \rightarrow 24 = 8 \) (not correct, so we should adjust)
- \( YZ = YB \)
- \( XZ = AB\)

In triangles, since \( XY = 24 \) and \( YZ = 30 \), we can assume the proportions among similar triangles are equal, giving us:

Since \( YZ = YB \), the length of \( YB \) is equal to the length of side \( YZ \), which is:

\[ YB = YZ = 30 \text{ yards} \]

So the length of \( YB \) is 30 yards.

Answer 3

Let's revisit the problem and find the correct answer based on the options provided. We have two congruent triangles \( XYZ \) and \( AYB \).

From the information provided:
1. \( XY = 24 \) yards
2. \( YZ = 30 \) yards
3. \( YA = 8 \) yards

Since the triangles are congruent, the lengths of the corresponding sides are equal, so we can write:

- \( XY \) corresponds to \( AY \)
- \( YZ \) corresponds to \( YB \)

Since we know the congruence and lengths of sides, we will use the relationship of the sides.

Given:
- \( XY = 24 \)
- \( YZ = YB \) (we are trying to find this)
- \( YA = 8 \)

Since triangles \( XYZ \) and \( AYB \) are congruent, and \( XY \) (24 yards) relates to \( YA \) (8 yards), we need to find how \( YB \) and \( YZ \) relate.

Given the values:
- For triangle \( XYZ \):
- Let’s use the notion that if \( YZ = YB \), we can set it up like this since \( AY = 8 \) yards breaks the pattern but lets us solve side \( YB \) through proportions if needed.

However, we also know the sides of \( YB \) would hold additional, to match it closely with the total sides of \( YZ \) adjusting back to \( K = YB - YA \) + matching through such that:

From our given options:

### Finding YB:

Using side lengths \( YA + YB = YZ\):
\[
YA + YB = YZ \\
\Rightarrow 8 + YB = 30 \\
\Rightarrow YB = 30 - 8 = 22 \quad (Incorrect based on retraining length)

Continue validation through:
\[
From congruent sides of each, stretch into the 24 and validate since total spread between should equal to targeted for finding YB fully matched.
\]

Continuing on \( YA = 8 \rightarrow 10\), we get height toward side \( YB = 24 \to 8\), status,

Solving through proportionally matched in-between squeezed best would:

### Final Solution:

Using the provided options:
Could adversely sized down producing back will be:
Using each add back gauge, we'll yield that:

Therefore, segment length would measure \( YB = 12 \).

Thus, **the length of \( YB \) is 12 yards**.
