Answer:

y = 8

Explanation:

It can be useful to write down the values of corresponding parts of the figures. This can help you see the ratio between corresponding measures. Here, we're concerned with sides.

AB = ?, FE= 6

BC = 10, EC = 5 . . . . . a ratio of 2:1

CD = ?, CG = ?

DA = y, GF = 4

So, the proportionality of the sides in these similar figures means ...

y/4 = 10/5

y = 4×10/5

y = 8 . . . . multiply by 4
