The values of x and y from the figure is 9 and 5 respectively

<h3>Similarity theorem of triangle</h3>

Two triangles are similar if the ratio of the similar sides is equal to a constant. From the given diagrams;

x/(8+4) = 6/8

x/12 =6/8

8x = 6 * 12

8x = 72

Divide both sides by8 to have:

8x/8 = 72/8

x = 9

Similarly;

10+y/x = 10/6

10+y/9 = 10/6

10+y/9 = 5/3

Cross multiply

3(10+y) = 5(9)

30 + 3y = 45

3y = 45-30

3y = 15

y = 5

Hence the values of x and y from the figure is 9 and 5 respectively

monitta

Answer: About 0.1894 of a mile will be driven until you reach the exit 1000 feet if there are 5280 feet in a mile.

Units are used to describe the quantity of an object.

Given the conversion rate:

5280 feet = 1 mile

Next is to convert 1000feet to miles, we can write:

1000feet = x

Divide both expressions to get the value of x

This shows that about 0.1894 of a mile will be driven until you reach the exit 1000 feet
