Solve for z. 18 32 Z

Answer:
z = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse Theorem
( leg of big Δ )² = ( part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse ) , that is
z² = 32 × (32 + 18) = 32 × 50 = 1600 ( take square root of both sides )
[tex]\sqrt{z^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{1600}[/tex]
z = 40
