If Y = 8 cm and Z = 17 cm, what is the length of X

To find the length of X, we need additional information. The lengths of X, Y, and Z appear to be part of a geometric figure or a mathematical equation. If we know the relationship between X, Y, and Z or have more details about the figure they are a part of, we can determine the length of X. Please provide more information or context for a more accurate answer.
