is XY 26????

- 4 years, 9 months ago

Yes .XY=26 is the correct answer.

- 11 months ago

Let $XM=MO=a$ and $ON=NY=b$

By applying PT, we get

$4a^{2}+b^{2}=19^{2} \rightarrow Eq.1$

$a^{2}+4b^{2}=22^{2} \rightarrow Eq.2$

Eq.1+Eq.2

$a^{2}+b^{2}=\frac{19^{2}+22^{2}}{5}=13^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4a^{2}+4b^{2}}=XY=\sqrt{4× 169}=\boxed{26}$
