Answer:


\Large \boxed{\displaystyle y=\sqrt{(z \cdot w)/(x)}}

Explanation:


\displaystyle (x)/(w) =(z)/(y^2 )

Cross multiplication.


x \cdot y^2 =z \cdot w

Dividing both sides by
x.


\displaystyle (x \cdot y^2 )/(x) =(z \cdot w)/(x)


\displaystyle y^2 =(z \cdot w)/(x)

Taking the square root of both sides.


\displaystyle √(y^2 ) =\sqrt{(z \cdot w)/(x)}


\displaystyle y=\sqrt{(z \cdot w)/(x)}
