Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, you can set up the following equation to find the length of segment ZY:


\sqrt{{XY}^2+{ZX}^2}=ZY

Since XY has length (4-1)=3, and ZX has length (3-(-5))=8, you can plug this into the equation to find that:


ZY=√(3^2+8^2)=√(73)

Hope this helps!
