Question
What is the value of y?
 
**Problem:** What is the value of \( y \)? **Diagram Description:** The diagram shows triangle \( HJI \) with point \( K \) on line \( HI \). Line segment \( JK \) is perpendicular to \( HI \). - **Lines and Measurements:** - Line segment \( HK = 3y \). - Line segment \( KI = y + 40 \). - Line segment \( JK \) is perpendicular to \( HI \), indicating a right angle at point \( K \). - The segments \( HK \) and \( JK \) are marked with small red lines indicating they are equal in length. **Input Box:** - Below the diagram, there is an input box labeled "y =", where you can enter the value of \( y \). **Submit Button:** - A green "Submit" button is available for checking the answer. Using information about right triangles and any given relationships, find the value of \( y \) to ensure the triangle makes sense geometrically.
