Because ∆XZW and WYZ is the same height and

Because ∆XZW and WYZ is the same height and the are of ∆WXZ to the the WYZ

[tex]so \:( \frac{1}{2}xw \times h)( \frac{1}{2} w)=7:2[/tex]

Because xy=21

[tex]so \: WY=2 \frac{1}{2}(7 + 2x2) \\ = 21 \frac{1}{2}p \times 2 \\ =\small\color{blue}{{{\boxed{\tt\red{} \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: WY=\frac{14}{3}\:\:\:\: }}}}[/tex]

The length of the line segment WY is [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] unit.

What is the area of triangle?

The area of a triangle is defined as the total region that is enclosed by the three sides of any particular triangle.

What is the formula for the area of triangle?

Area of triangle = (1/2)base × height

According to the given question.

The ratio of the area of triangle WXZ to the area of triangle WYZ is 7:2.

Since, the height WZ for both the triangles WXZ and WYZ is same.

Let, WZ = h

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the triangles is given by  

 [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}WX(h) }{\frac{1}{2}(WY)(h) } =\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{WX}{WY} =\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]WX = \frac{7}{2} WY..(i)[/tex]

Since, in the given figure

[tex]XY = WY + WX[/tex]

⇒ [tex]21 = WY + \frac{7}{2} WY[/tex]   (from i)

⇒ [tex]21 = \frac{9}{2}WY[/tex]

⇒ [tex]WY = \frac{14}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the length of the line segment WY is [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] unit.
