Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 triangles are similar then the ratio of any 2 sides of one triangles will be equal to the ratio of any 2 sides of the another triangle.

So,

[tex] \frac{30}{8} = \frac{20}{y} [/tex]

Cross-multiplying the denominators gives,

[tex]30y = 160[/tex]

[tex] = > y = \frac{160}{30} = \frac{16}{3} [/tex]
