Can anybody with this answer? ? use the geometric mean or pythagorean theorem to solve for z

The answer to your question is z =

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

I'll solve this problem using proportions, I hope it helps you

We consider the adjacent side of both triangle

Adjacent side small triangle = x    Adjacent side big triangle = 10

Proportion of these sides =

Now, consider the opposite side of both triangles

Opposite side fo small triangle = 2  Opposite side big triangle = x

Proportion =

Now, equal both proportions and solve for x

                                           x² = 20

                                           x  =

                                          x = 2        

Using Geometric mean

x =

Using the Pythagorean theorem to find z    

z² = (√20)² + 2²

z² = 20 + 4

z² = 24

z =
