1. Problem Description

In triangle XYZXYZ, XTXT is the altitude, where XT=60|XT| = 60 cm, YT=11|YT| = 11 cm, and XZ=65|XZ| = 65 cm. We are asked to find the length of YZ|YZ|.

2. Solution Steps

First, we consider the right triangle XTZXTZ. By the Pythagorean theorem, we have
XT2+TZ2=XZ2|XT|^2 + |TZ|^2 = |XZ|^2
602+TZ2=65260^2 + |TZ|^2 = 65^2
3600+TZ2=42253600 + |TZ|^2 = 4225
TZ2=42253600=625|TZ|^2 = 4225 - 3600 = 625
TZ=625=25|TZ| = \sqrt{625} = 25 cm.
Next, we have YZ=TZTY|YZ| = |TZ| - |TY|
YZ=2511=14|YZ| = 25 - 11 = 14 cm.

3. Final Answer

The length of YZ|YZ| is 14 cm.
