Question

What is the value of y if the quadrilateral is a square?

Answer 1

y = 4 making each side equal to 3 units

Answer 2

`y=4`

Explanation:

We have bee a quadrilateral. We are asked to find the value of y if the quadrilateral is a square.

We know that all sides of square has equal measure. To find the value of y, we will equate two sides of our given quadrilateral as:

`3y-9=2y-5`

Now, let us solve for y using opposite operations.

`3y-2y-9=2y-2y-5`

`y-9=-5`

`y-9+9=-5+9`

`y=4`

Therefore, the value of y is 4 if the quadrilateral is a square.
