Answer:

altitude = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem where you have a right triangle with a base of 8 (half of 16), a hypotenue of 17, and the altitude is 'a'

a² + 8² = 17²

a² + 64 = 289

a² = 225

a = \sqrt{225}

a = 15

Answer:

z = 44

Step-by-step explanation:
