The question is can you solve z and s using statement 1 and/or 2.
The in-app shows B is the correct answer, to me it is E since statement 2 is only useful on the predicate z is actually 90 degrees, which is part of the question itself and thus cannot be assumed!

EDIT:
I just noticed that apparently it does have a specific question, within the app it isn't shown, when you log on the website it doesn't show but unlogged as a guest you can see the question 'What is the area of the triangle above?'
It tests like this, you can safely assume when it looks 90 degrees it is meant as 90 degrees, in this case there's no notation it is 90 degrees and as I said earlier z degrees is part of the question, so I'll stick with E anyway ;)

Thank you for the post, Niels.
Andres, the question is missing from the app: "What is the area of the triangle above?"

Cool, a Pythagorean theorem that works for a non-right triangle.
