Question

Find the value of y.

Answer 1

for this question you would need to utilize ratios to find the side lengths. For example, set up a ratio between the big triangle with the small triangle to find a side length

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

DB=√(y²-25)

again DB=√(x²-36)

so √(y²-25)=√(x²-36)

squaring

y²-25=x²-36

x²=y²-25+36

or x²=y²+11

also x²+y²=(6+5)²

x²+y²=121

y²+11+y²=121

2y²=121-11

2y²=110

y²=110/2=55

y=√55
