Answer:
9.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable geometric mean rule tells you ...
y = √(9(9+2)) = √99
y ≈ 9.9
__
Additional comment
In this geometry, the right triangles are similar. Ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
hypotenuse/long side = y/9 = (9+2)/y
y^2 = (9)(11)
y = √99 . . . . as above
The long leg is the geometric mean of the (adjacent) long segment and the full hypotenuse.
