Answer:

16

Explanation:

Referring to the diagram, we can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find ZY. (which is the distance from Point Y to WX)

By Pythagoras' Theorem,


c^(2) =a^(2) +b^(2) \\WY^(2) =WZ^(2) +ZY^(2) \\(16√(2)) ^(2) =16^(2) +ZY^(2) \\ZY^(2) = (16√(2)) ^(2) -16^(2) \\ZY^(2) =512-256\\ZY^(2) =256\\ZY=√(256) \\ZY=16
