Answer:

VW=35

YZ=50

Step-by-step explanation:

As they are similar triangles with a ratio of 1:2 and we know VW:XZ=1:2, we can make the equation:

2(4y+7)=12y-14

8y+14=12y-14

4y=28

y=7

So, VW=4(7)+7=35.

Similarly, you can find YZ through VT:

2(7x-17)=8x+2

14x-34=8x+2

6x=36

x=6

Therefore, YZ=8(6)+2=50.
