Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of z, we need the lengths of the other 2 sides first. Simply take the square root of both areas and that will be your sides.


√(13) and
√(29.25)

Now find z, the hypotenuse.


(√(13)) ^2 + (√(29.25) )^2 =z^2\\\\13 + 29.25 = z^2\\\\42.25 = z^2\\\\√(42.25) = z\\\\6.5 = z

6.5 is the answer.
