The tangent to the circumcircle of triangle WXY at X is drawn, and the line through W that is parallel to this tangent intersects XY at Z If XY=14 and WX=6 find YZ.
Let P be the point on the tangent at the bottom of the image.
Note that ∠PXZ=∠XZW since they are alternate angles of the pair of parallel lines.
Also, ∠PXZ=∠XWY since they are angles in alternate segments.
Therefore ∠XZW=∠XWY. Also, ∠ZXW=∠WXY since they are the same angle.
By AA postulate, △XZW∼△XWY.
Let YZ = t. Then by similar triangles, XZXW=XWXY. i.e., 14−t6=614.
Can you take it from here?
