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!
