Answer:

s = 3

Explanation:

Since the bigger triangle is isosceles, the two smaller triangles are equal to each other because line BD is an angle bisector of <B. We also know that since they are equal to each other, side AD and DC are congruent

knowing this, we can set the equation to 3s = s + 6

subtract s from both sides: 2s = 6

divide both sides by 2: s = 3
