Let x be the length of the legs WX and YZ.
We are given that WX = 6x - 5 and YZ = 4x + 11
Subtracting the two equations, we get:
6x - 5 - (4x + 11) = 0
2x - 16 = 0
2x = 16
x = 8
We are also given that XY = 9x - 3
Substituting x = 8, we get:
XY = 9(8) - 3 = 69
Therefore, x = 8 and the length of the base XY is 69.
