find the value of z

Answer:
[tex] z = 12 \sqrt{5} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
By geometric mean property:
[tex]y = \sqrt{24 \times 6} \\ \\ y = \sqrt{144} \\ \\ y = 12 [/tex]
By Pythagoras Theorem:
[tex] z = \sqrt{ {12}^{2} + {24}^{2} } \\ \\ z = \sqrt{144 + 576} \\ \\ z = \sqrt{720} \\ \\ z = 12 \sqrt{5} [/tex]
