Question

In triangle shown, XZ = 16 and YZ = 12

Answer 1

Answer:

$YZ=20$

Step by step explanation:

To find the measure of XY, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which is represented by the following diagram and formula:

If a=XZ=16 and b=YZ=12. Solve for c=XY.

$\begin{gathered} YZ=\sqrt[]{16^2+12^2} \\ YZ=\sqrt[]{256+144} \\ YZ=\sqrt[]{400} \\ YZ=20 \end{gathered}$
