answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
