Question

What is the distance from point y to wx in the figure below

Answer 1

The right answer is 15

Answer 2

Answer:Option C 15

Explanation:

The distance from point Y to WX is represented by the line YZ.

Triangle XYZ is a right triangle with one of the leg and hypotenuse known .The other leg can be determined by the Pythagorean Theorem.

According to the theorem :

`XY^(2) =XZ^(2) +ZY^(2)`

Or,

`ZY^(2) =(15√(2) )^(2) -15^(2)`

`ZY^(2) =450-225=225`

Or ZY=15.
