Question

What is the distance from the point Y to WX in the figure below? PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

Answer 1

Answer is 16 letter F

Answer 2

F. 16

Step by step explanation:

We are asked to find the distance between point Y to line segment WX.

We can see two right triangles in our given graph. We will use Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.

`YZ^(2) =34^(2) -30^(2)`

`YZ^(2) =1156 -900`

`YZ^(2) =256`

Now we will take square root of both sides of our equation.

`YZ= √(256)`

`YZ= √(16* 16)`

`YZ= 16`

We can see that distance between point Y and line segment WX will be equal to length of YZ that is 16. Therefore, option F is the correct choice.
