This is something new I'm learning. Can someone help me with these?
![**Question 11**
Given the equations for segments in a geometric configuration:
- \( XY = 7a \)
- \( YZ = 5a \)
- \( XZ = 6a + 24 \)
**Question 12**
Given the lengths for segments in another geometric configuration:
- \( XY = 5.5 \)
- \( YZ = 2c \)
- \( XZ = 8.9 \)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4b5461c9-0578-4e0d-85de-389c88ddfbd6%2F74a5f2a1-7a80-4f4d-a702-4936ffe7e909%2Ft0vilg6_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
