The length of the total segment is WY = 19. We know X is on the line segment and that WX = 11. It's required to find the length of segment XY.

The total segment WY is made of the smaller segments WX and XY and it follows that:

WX + XY = WY

Substituting the known values:

11 + XY = 19

It can be found that

XY = 19 - 11 = 8

Answer: XY = 8
