y = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Considering triangle BCD,

BD² = 14² - 8²

BD² ° 196 - 64 = 132

BD = √132

Considering triangle ABD,

AB² = BD² + y²

AB² = (√132)² + y²

AB² = 132 + y²- - - - - - - - - - 1

Considering triangle ABC,

(8 + y)² = AB² + BC²

(8 + y)² = AB² + 14²

(8 + y)² = AB² + 196

AB² = (8 + y)² - 196- - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

132 + y² = (8 + y)² - 196

y² - (8 + y)² = - 196 - 132

y² - (64 + 16y + y²) = - 328

y² - 64 - 16y - y2 = - 328

- 16y = - 328 + 64

- 16y = - 264

y = - 264/- 16

y = 16.5

answer is d-29

step-by-step explanation:

since you didn't include the picture, i can give you the description so you know how to pick the correct answer. the third quartile of a data is always shown in a box plot. in the middle of your graph should be a box. the third quartile is the value that goes with the far right edge of the box.
