Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf y=6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 identical squares.
The area of one square is [tex]\sf s^2[/tex].
[tex]\sf{y^2 } \times \sf{5}[/tex]
[tex]\sf 5y^2[/tex]
The area of the whole shape is 180 cm².
[tex]\sf 5y^2=180[/tex]
Solve for y.
Divide both sides by 5.
[tex]\sf y^2=36[/tex]
Take the square root on both sides.
[tex]\sf y=6[/tex]
