Answer:

14

Explanation:

All of the angles are marked as congruent, which means it is an equlateral triangle. This means that all of the sides are congruent too.

Therefore z + 2 = 2z -10

add 10 to each side

z + 12 = 2z

subtract z from each side

12=z

now that we know that, we can plug it back in to either line (it doesn't matter because they're congruent)

line AB is z+2 which is 12+2 or 14

and line CB is 2z-10 which is 2(12)-10 or 24-10 which is also 14

so line CA is also 14 units long.
