Question

If segment XY = 5 and segment YZ = 10, what is the length of XZ?

Answer 1

The length of segment XZ is 15 units

Explanation:

Given

`XY = 5`

`YZ = 10`

Required

Determine XZ

Assuming XY and YZ are on the same plane such that

`XZ = XY + YZ`

Substitute values for XY and YZ

`XZ = 5 + 10`

`XZ = 15`

Hence, the length of segment XZ is 15 units
