Question

anyone know how to solve for Z? im not really the best when it comes to triangles and solving for letters ​

Answer 1

Answer:

I can't exactly remember how to either but I do know that they hypotenuse is 7 so z cannot be bigger than 7

Answer 2

Answer:

z = $\sqrt{35}$

Explanation:

The triangles are similar so the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{z}{5}$ = $\frac{7}{z}$ ( cross- multiply )

z² = 35 ( take the square root of both sides )

z = $\sqrt{35}$
