Answer

$c=25$

Work Step by Step

The third term of a perfect square trinomial is equal to the square of half of the coefficient of the middle term. Hence, to make the given expression, $ y^2+10y+c $, a perfect square trinomial, then, \begin{array}{l} c=\left( \dfrac{10}{2} \right)^2 \\\\ c=\left( 5 \right)^2 \\\\ c=25 .\end{array}
