Answer:

√55

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the small triangle in the bottom corner shares an angle with the overall triangle. Also, they are both right triangles. Therefore, they are similar triangles.

Notice that the large triangle at the top shares an angle with the overall triangle and is also a right triangle. Therefore it is also similar to the overall triangle and the smaller triangle.

Writing a proportion between the small and large triangles:

y / 11 = 5 / y

y² = 55

y = √55

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Obtuse Scalene Triangle. It has one angle that is greater than 90 degrees and have two equal sides so it's a obtuse scalene triangle.

b. A triangle interior add up to 180 degrees. We are given the upper angle which is 173. The other two angles must add to 180 but must be equal.

$x + y + z = 180$
