Points X, Y and Z are located in the same horizontal plane such that Y is 12 km north of X and Z is on a bearing of 270° from X. If |XZ| = 6km, calculate, correct to one decimal place, lYZl

A
18km
B
13.4km
C
13km
D
10.4km
correct option: b

ZY\(^2\) = 12\(^2\) + 6\(^2\)

ZY\(^2\) = 144 + 36 = 180

ZY = \(\sqrt{180}\)

= \(13.416\)

= 13.4 km
