The correct answer is option A which is ZA = 3 cm
<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>Triangle is a shape made of three sides in a two-dimensional plane. the sum of the three angles is 180 degrees.
The triangle is shown below.
From the triangle, A is the concurrency point of angle bisectors of all vertices.
Consider ΔAYD,
Using the Pythagorean theorem,
AD² = AY² + YD²
5² = AY² + 4²
25 = AY² + 16
AY² = 25 - 16
AY² = 9
AY = √9 = 3 cm
Consider triangles ADY and ADZ.
∠AYD ≅∠AZD=90
∠ADY≅∠ADZ ( Angle bisector)
AD ≡ AD (common side)
The two triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.
Therefore, by CPCTE, AY=ZA=3 cm
