Answer:

Explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle which is made up of 2 right angle triangles.

To determine y, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side². Therefore

136² = y² + 120²

18496 = y² + 14400

y² = 18496 - 14400 = 4096

y = √4096 = 64

To determine z,

255² = z² + 120²

65025 = z² + 14400

z² = 65025 - 14400 = 50625

z = √50625 = 225
