Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse ⇒<span>
</span>altitude = √(9*3) = √27
<span>By the Pythagorean theorem:
y = </span>√(9² + (√27)²) = √(81+27) = √108 = 6√3 ← answer
not too sure but I think your answer would be -5
