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.
