Answer:

42

Explanation:

because the triangles are congruent, we can place the angle x in CDE to solve for it. Knowing the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, we can set up the formula below.

62 + 65 + x = 180

Additionally, because the triangles are congruent, we know that the length of CD is equal to GH, letting us set up this formula:

x - y = 11

Solving the first formula, we now know the value of x, 53.

62 + 65 + 52 = 180

Plugging that into the second formula and solving, we get 42.

53 - 42 = 11

Answer:

42

Explanation:

in order to find y, we need to find x.

180-65-62=53

x=53

we need to subtract 53-?=11

53-42=11

y=42
