Problem
In a circle, if two chords are congruent, then their corresponding central angles are congruent. Given chord WX has length 7 and the central angle subtended by WX is 55 degrees. Chord YZ is congruent to chord WX.
Step-by-step solution
Since chords WX and YZ are congruent, their corresponding central angles are congruent. The length of chord WX is given as 7 units. Therefore, the length of chord YZ is also 7 units.
Answer
7 units
