YZ = √ 5 and XZ = √ 2. Find XY. Answer in simplified radical form.

Question

It's a right triangle, Y vertex is 90 degree.
plz help.

Answer 1

Still no joy here. If Y is the 90° angle, the the legs are YX and YZ, making XZ the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the longest side, so it cannot be √2 if one leg is √5 !!!
So fix your problem before you post it again, please.

However, if one leg is √2 and the hypotenuse is √5, then the other leg is √3
If one leg is √2 and the other leg is √5, then the hypotenuse is √7
since a^2+b^2 = c^2

Answer 2

i think my question has typo. answer is √7. i was confused. thank you so much for helping me out.
