Answer: z = \sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find <em>z</em>, you must set up a proportion to solve.

To find the altitude of a special right triangle, the formula is:

\frac{a}{x} =\frac{x}{b}

You can use <em>5</em> as <em>a</em> and <em>2</em> as <em>b</em> to complete the proportion:

\frac{5}{z} =\frac{z}{2}

Next, to solve:

<u>Step 1</u>: Cross-multiply.

\frac{5}{z} =\frac{z}{2}

(5)*(2) = z*z

10 = z²

<u>Step 2</u>: Take square root.

10 = z²

√10 = z

I hope this helps!

Solve for g.<br><br> -6g + 3g + 12 &gt; -18
makvit [3.9K]
<span>-6g + 3g + 12 \ \textgreater \  -18&#10;
</span>Start by combining like terms on both sides 
-6+3=-3
Now we have:
-3g+ 12 \ \textgreater \ -18

To isolate g we need to subtract 12 from both sides -18-12= -30

Now we have
-3g \ \textgreater \ -30

Divide both sides by -3 to isolate g, now we have: 

g\ \textgreater \ -10
When we divide an inequality by a negative we flip the sign so:
g\ \textgreater \ -10
becomes:
g\ \textless \ 10

Final answer:

<span>g\ \textless \ 10</span>
