6 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units
9 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units
12 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units

Answer 1

The value of y in the triangle is B. 6✓3.

How to calculate the value?

From the information given,

NU = 9

UM = 3

MN = 3 + 9 = 12

NT² = 9 × 12 = 108

NT = ✓108

NT = 6✓3

Therefore, y is 6✓3.

The value of y in the triangle is 6✓3.
