Explanation:

For the left triangle:

leg/12 = (12+x)/leg

leg = 13

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{13}{12}=\frac{12+x}{13} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{cross multiply:} \\ 13(13)\text{ = 12(12+x)} \\ 169\text{ = 144 + 12x} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 169-144\text{ = 12x} \\ 25\text{ = 12x} \\ \frac{25}{12}=\frac{12x}{12} \\ x\text{ = 2.08} \end{gathered}[/tex]

z = x + 12

z = 2.08 + 12

z = 14.08

For the right triangle:

leg/z = x/leg

leg = y

y/14.08 = 2.08/y
