Answer:
Equation → 5y = 3y + 6
Value of ST = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
In right triangles ΔVST and ΔVUT,
Acute angles ∠SVT ≅ ∠UVT [Given]
TV ≅ TV [By reflexive property of congruence]
ΔVST ≅ ΔVUT [Hypotenuse angle congruence of right triangles]
Therefore, corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.
Therefore, ST ≅ TU
5y = 3y + 6
5y - 3y = 6
2y = 6
y = 3
Therefore, ST = 5y
ST = 5(3)
= 15
