Question

Hence, find the smallest possible value of z such that 160 x z is a perfect square​

Answer 1

10.

Explanation:

I am assuming that z is a whole number.

160z = x^2

z = x^2/ 160.

160 = 2*2*2*2*2*5

To make this a perfect square we multiply by 2 * 5

- this gives us 1600.

z = 1600/160 = 10.
