Answer:

56

Explanation:

First, I drew picture of a line containing points W and Z.

Next, I added a midpoint between W and Z and labelled it Y.

Next, I added a midpoint between W and Y and labelled it X.

It is given that XY = 14, so that means WX is also 14 (because X is the midpoint, these two distances have to the be the same)

Now I know WY is 28, which means YZ is also 28.

So WZ has to be 56.
