To solve the equation \( z^2 = 264.950495290000 \), we need to take the square root of both sides.

1. Take the square root of 264.950495290000:

\[
z = \sqrt{264.950495290000}
\]

2. Using a calculator to find the square root:

\[
z \approx 16.28
\]

3. Rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[
z \approx 16.3
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{16.3}
\]

I apologize for any confusion. Let's solve the equation step by step again.

Given the equation:

\[
z^2 = 264.950495290000
\]

To find \( z \), we'll take the square root of both sides:

\[
z = \sqrt{264.950495290000}
\]

Now, calculating this:

\[
z \approx 16.28
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[
z \approx 16.3
\]

This confirms the previous calculation. If you were looking for a different interpretation, or if this doesn’t match your expectations, please clarify, and I'll assist you further!
