To find the length of \( YW \) in this triangle configuration, let's analyze the triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem if necessary.

In the diagram:

- We have triangle \( ZYW \) with \( X \) as a point where a perpendicular line segment \( YX \) meets \( ZW \).
- The length \( ZX = 6 \, \text{m} \) and \( XW = 10 \, \text{m} \).
- The line \( YX \) is perpendicular to \( ZW \), which suggests we are dealing with two right triangles, \( ZYX \) and \( WYX \).

Since \( YX \) is perpendicular to \( ZW \), we can apply the Pythagorean theorem in triangle \( WYX \) to find \( YW \).

Using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
YW^2 = YX^2 + XW^2
\]
Given that \( ZX = 6 \, \text{m} \) and \( XW = 10 \, \text{m} \), we don't know \( YX \) yet, which is needed to calculate \( YW \). 

If there’s additional information about \( YX \), please provide it. Otherwise, we can conclude that more details are needed for an accurate calculation.

Would you like further assistance on this problem, or do you have the length of \( YX \)? 

Here are some related questions:
1. What is the purpose of the perpendicular segment \( YX \) in this triangle configuration?
2. How does the Pythagorean theorem help in solving right triangle problems?
3. Could knowing the entire length of \( ZW \) contribute to finding \( YW \)?
4. How can trigonometric ratios be used in similar problems?
5. What are the properties of right triangles that help in calculating unknown sides?

**Tip:** In right triangles, if you know two side lengths, you can always find the third side using the Pythagorean theorem.

Learn how to find the length of YW in a right triangle with given lengths ZX = 6 m and XW = 10 m. This problem uses the Pythagorean Theorem and applies concepts of right triangles, making it suitable for Grades 7-9 students.
