Answer:

v = √(z(w+z))

Explanation:

Right triangles in this configuration are all similar. That means the side ratios are proportional, so ...

long side/hypotenuse = z/v = v/(w+z)

Multiplying this equation by the product of the denominators, we have ...

z(w+z) = v²

Taking the square root gives ...

v = √(z(w+z)) . . . . . . matches the last selection
