Question

The two polygons are similar. Find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer: $x=11, y=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional, so:

$\frac{x-2}{6}=\frac{15}{10}\\\\\frac{x-2}{6}=\frac{3}{2}\\\\x-2=9\\\\x=11$

$\frac{y+3}{8}=\frac{15}{10}\\\\\frac{y+3}{8}=\frac{3}{2}\\\\y+3=12\\\\y=9$
