Answer:


\large\boxed{5(1)/(3)\ units}

Explanation:

ΔZYW and ΔWYX are similar. Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion:


(ZY)/(YW)=(YW)/(YX)

We have:


ZY=3,\ YW=4,\ YX = a

Substitute:


(3)/(4)=(4)/(a) cross multiply


3a=(4)(4)


3a=16 divide both sides by 3


a=(16)/(3)\\\\a=5(1)/(3)
