Let X, Y, and Z be points such that XZ/ZY = ZY/XY = 1/2. If Y = (1, 7), Z = (-1, -9), then what is the sum of the coordinates of X?
ZY = √20
XZ = 1/2(ZY = √5
XY = 2(ZY) = √80
Such a triangle is NOT possible!!!
ZY + XZ MUST BE greater than XY!!!
Let me correct this question:
Let X, Y, and Z be points such that XZ/ZY = ZY/XY = 2/3. If Y = (1, 7), Z = (-1, -9), then what is the sum of the coordinates of X?
