Question

aleph constructed \\( \overrightarrow{zr} \\), a line segment bisector of \\( \overline{xy} \\). how does point z relate to \\( \overline{xy} \\)? if \\( xy = 22 \\) units, what is \\( zy \\)? (1 point) \\( \bigcirc \\) point z is the midpoint of \\( \overline{xy} \\). \\( zy = 22 \\) units. \\( \bigcirc \\) point z is the midpoint of \\( \overline{xy} \\). \\( zy = 11 \\) units. \\( \bigcirc \\) point z is the endpoint of \\( \overline{xy} \\). \\( zy = 22 \\) units \\( \bigcirc \\) point z is the endpoint of \\( \overline{xy} \\). \\( zy = 11 \\) units.

Explanation:

A segment bisector divides a segment into two equal parts, so \( Z \) is the midpoint of \( \overline{XY} \). The length of \( ZY \) is half of \( XY \). Given \( XY = 22 \) units, \( ZY=\frac{XY}{2}=\frac{22}{2} = 11 \) units.

Answer:

B. Point \( Z \) is the midpoint of \( \overline{XY} \). \( ZY = 11 \) units.
