Math Problem Statement

Find each measure. Assume that the figures are not drawn to scale. WY = ___ mm. Given WX = 8.8 mm, find the length of WY.

Solution

The problem asks for the measure of segment WYWY given the total length WX=8.8WX = 8.8 mm. In the diagram, segment WXWX consists of two parts: WYWY and YXYX. However, since the length of YXYX is not provided, it is assumed that WY=WXWY = WX.

Thus,

WY=8.8mm.WY = 8.8 \, \text{mm}.
