Sorry, without additional information or a diagram, it is not possible to determine the length of Y. Please provide further context or clarification.

It's a right triangle

Thank you for the clarification.

If we assume that the values X and Z represent the lengths of the legs of the right triangle, then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of the hypotenuse Y. The Pythagorean theorem states that:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

Substituting the given values X = 12cm and Z = 20cm, we have:

12^2 + b^2 = 20^2

144 + b^2 = 400

b^2 = 400 - 144

b^2 = 256

Taking the square root of both sides:

b = sqrt(256)

b = 16

Therefore, the length of Y (the hypotenuse) is 16cm.
