Question

Find the value of the variables ​

Answer 1

x = 15

y = 12

z = 20

Explanation:

For right angle x^2 + z^2 = (9 + 16)^2 => x^2 + z^2 = 625

then z^2 = y^2 + 16^2 => y^2 = z^2 - 256

and x^2 = y^2 + 9^2 => y^2 = x^2 - 81

so z^2 - 256 = x^2 - 81

z^2 = x^2 + 175

replace z^2 = x^2 + 175 into the first equation

x^2 + (x^2 + 175) = 625

2x^2 = 450

x^2 = 225

x = 15

If x = 15 => 15^2 + z^2 = 625 => z^2 = 400 => z = 20

y^2 = z^2 - 256 => y^2 = 400 - 256 = 144

then y = 12
