Answer:

  n = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means corresponding sides are proportional.

  short side / long side = n/20 = 5/n

  n² = 20·5 = 100 . . . multiply by 20n

  n = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

Additional comment

The ratio of hypotenuse to short side is also proportional:

  m/5 = (20+5)/m

  m² = 125 . . . . . multiply by 5m

  m = 5√5 . . . . . take the square root
