Like XZ divides the cord YV into two congruent parts (YW=5.27 cm=WV), this segment XZ must be perpendicular to the segment YV, then the angle XWY in triangle XWY is a right angle (90°) and the triangle XWY is a right angle.

We can apply the trigonometric ratios in triangle XWY:
Hypotenure: XY
sin 44°=(Opposite leg to 44°)/(hypothenuse)
sin 44°=YW/XY
sin 44°=(5.27 cm)/XY
Solving for XY. Cross multiplication:
sin44° XY=5.27 cm
Dividing both sides of the equation by sin 44°:
sin 44° XY / sin 44° = (5.27 cm)/sin 44°
XY=(5.27/sin 44°) cm
XY=(5.27/0.694658370) cm
XY=7.586462929 cm

This value XY is the radius of the circle, then:
XZ=XY→XZ=7.586462969 cm

tan 44°=(Opposite leg to 44°) / (Adjacent leg to 44°)
tan 44°=YW/XW
tan 44°=(5.27 cm)/XW
Solving for XW. Cross multiplication:
tan 44° XW=5.27 cm
Dividing both sides of the equation by tan 44°:
tan 44° XW / tan 44°=(5.27 cm)/tan 44°
XW=(5.27/tan 44°) cm
XW=(5.27/0.965688775) cm
XW=5.457244753 cm

WZ=XZ-XW
WZ=7.586462969 cm-5.457244753 cm
WZ=2.129218216 cm
Rounded to 2 decimal places:
WZ=2.13 cm

Answer: The <span>measurement is closest to the measure of segment WZ is
2.13 cm</span>

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The following steps to solve equation given by join are shown below including the property of numbers applied for each reasons:

4(2a + 3) = -3(a - 1) + 31 - 11a ----› Given

Apply the distributive property to open the parentheses

4*2a + 4*3 = -3*a -3*-1 + 31 - 11a

8a + 12 = -3a + 3 + 31 - 11a ----› Distributive property

Combine like terms together

8a + 12 = 3 + 31 -3a - 11a

8a + 12 = 34 - 14a ---› Combining like terms

Add 14a to both sides

8a + 12 + 14a = 34 - 14a + 14a

22a + 12 = 34 ----› Addition property

Subtract 12 from both sides

22a + 12 - 12 = 34 - 12

22a = 22 ----› subtraction property of equality

Divide both sides by 22

22a/22 = 22/22

a = 1 ----› Division property of Equality
