Answer 2

Answer:

The value of  XY is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

XZ = 16

YZ = 12

Since the triangle is not shown:

Assuming it is a right angled triangle with right angle at ∠Z.

We have drawn the triangle for your reference.

Now by Using Pythagoras theorem we get;

Substituting the values we get;

Now taking square root on both side we get;

Hence The value of  XY is 20.
