Please help with this math problem! :)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Diagonals intersect at 90

2z - 8 = 90

2z = 90 + 8

2z = 98

z = 98/2

z = 49

Adjacent sides are congruent

5x - 12 = 3x + 2

5x = 3x + 2 + 12

5x = 3x + 14

5x - 3x = 14

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

3x + 2 = 3*7 + 2

= 21 + 2

= 23

Use Pythagorean theorem to find y

16² + y² = 23³

256 + y² = 529

y² = 529 - 256 = 273

y = √273

y = 16.52
