Answer:
HB = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle GHJ, points A, B, C are mid points of the sides GH, HJ, GJ respectively.
Therefore by Mid-segment Theorem.
[tex]AC = \frac{1}{2} HJ \\ \\ 3y - 5 = \frac{1}{2} (4y + 2) \\ \\ 3y - 5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 (2y + 1) \\ \\ 3y - 5 = 2y + 1\\ \\ 3y - 2y = 5 + 1 \\ \\ y = 6 \\ \\ HJ = 4y + 2 \\ \\ HJ = 4 \times 6 + 2 \\ \\ HJ = 24 + 2 \\ \\ HJ = 26 \\ \\ HB= \frac{1}{2} HJ \\ \\ HB= \frac{1}{2} \times 26 \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ HB= 13}}[/tex]
