Answer

XY = 6 units

ZW = 8 units

The two segments (XY and ZW) are not congruent as they are not equal in length to each other.

Step-by-step explanation

We are given the coordinates of points X, Y, Z and W

X = -8

Y = -2

Z = 2

W = 10

XY = Difference between points -2 and -8

XY = -2 - (-8) = -2 + 8 = 6 units

ZW = Difference between points 10 and 2

ZW = 10 - 2 = 8 units

The two segments are not congruent as they are not equal in length to each other.

Hope this Helps!!!
