Answer:Option C   15

The distance from point Y to WX is represented by the line YZ.

Triangle XYZ is a right triangle with one of the leg and hypotenuse known .The other leg can be determined by the Pythagorean Theorem.

According to the theorem :

[tex]XY^{2} =XZ^{2} +ZY^{2}[/tex]

Or,

[tex]ZY^{2} =(15\sqrt{2} )^{2} -15^{2}[/tex]

[tex]ZY^{2} =450-225=225[/tex]

Or ZY=15.

Option C 15
