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.
