A triangle with vertices labeled as X, Y, and Z. Side X Z is base. Side Y X contains a midpoint M. A line segment drawn from Z t
o M bisects angle Y Z X into two parts labeled as Y Z M and X Z M. Angles Y Z M and X Z M are marked with single arc. Side Y Z is labeled 7. Base X Z is labeled 11. Side Y M is labeled 3.5.

Answer:
The value of MX is 5.5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the complete question is not given, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith
The diagram is attached with the solution.
As the line ZM is dividing the angle in two parts thus as the two angles are equal thus
The sides are given as
XZ=11
YM=3.5
YZ=7
Now by the theorem of the angles, the bisected angles are such that sin(<YZM)=sin(<XZM)
so
So the value of MX is 5.5 units.
