Given the following triangle, find c. shown: a right triangle xyz, with z being the right angle and xz=15, yz=9, and xy=c. answer options: a. 18√17 b. 6√17 c. 3√34 d. 12

Option C is correct

value of c is, units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem;

     ....[1]

As per the statement:

A right triangle XYZ, with Z being the right angle and

XZ=15, YZ=9, and XY=c.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle XYZ :

Hypotenuse side = XY = c unit

Shorter side = YZ = 9 units

Longer side = XZ = 15 units

Substitute these in [1] we have;

⇒

⇒ units

Therefore, the value of c is, units
