A. Find BC.
Answer: 8.5
BC = AC Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
BC = 8.5 Substitution
B. Find XY.
Answer: 6
C. Find PQ.
PQ = RQ Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
3x + 1 = 5x – 3 Substitution
1 = 2x – 3 Subtract 3x from each side.
4 = 2x Add 3 to each side.
2 = x Divide each side by 2.
So, PQ = 3(2) + 1 = 7.

A. Find DB.
Answer: DB = 5
DB = DC Angle Bisector Theorem
DB = 5 Substitution
C. Find QS.
Answer: So, QS = 4(3) – 1 or 11.
QS = SR Angle Bisector Theorem
4x – 1 = 3x + 2 Substitution
x – 1 = 2 Subtract 3x from each side.
x = 3 Add 1 to each side.
