Question

Find​ y, ST, and TU. Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2

ST and TU = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that both of the triangles share the segment TV. You can then infer that angle V is bisected which makes them equal and both triangles are a right angle. This will then equal to AAS or SAA congruence. With the triangles being congruent then segments ST and TU equal eachother.

Since the triangles are congruent then you can set up an equation as 5y=2y+6 and solve for y. First subtract 2y on both sides and youll get 3y=6 then divide by 3 on both sides to isolate y and you'll get y=2. Since both segments equal eachother then you only need to find what on side equals (unless you want to check your work). 5(2) would equal 10 so both segments equal 10.
