Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

                          Statements                                Reasons

1). ∠1 is comp. to ∠2                                1. Given

2). ∠2 is comp. to ∠3                              2. Given

3). ∠1 + ∠2 = 90°                                      3. def. of comp. angles

4). m∠1 = 90° - ∠1                                    4. Subtr. equality property

5). m∠2 + m∠3 = 90°                              5. def. of comp. angles

6). m∠3 = 90° - m∠2                               6. subtr. equality property

7). m∠1 = m∠3                                         7. Transitive property

Option (2) will be the answer.

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,
