Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided figure, we are going to calculate the requested measure, so we obtain the following:

Remember that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal, so we have equality:

YW=XV

YW=2XU

10=2(XU)

XU=10/2

XU=5

Finally we obtain that the correct answer is the second option.
