Answer:

VW = 43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can see that VZ = 88 - 55 = 33.

Then by the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, we can write that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{55}{33}=\frac{72}{VW}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5}{3}=\frac{72}{VW}[/tex]

Cross-multiply:

[tex]216=5VW[/tex]

So:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{216}{5}=43.2[/tex]
