If wy is congruent to xy, then from w to y is equal to the distance between x and y. According to the figure, both distances are 3m-4 each. Therefore the perimeter is the sum of the three sides, namely:


p = m + (3m-4) + (3m-4)=76in

Solving for m:

m + (3m-4) + (3m-4)=76

7m-8=76

7m=84

m=12

Finally:
wx is the distance
m=12in
