PLEASE HELP ASAP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Find x and y

Answer 1

The values of the variables x and y in the triangle are 1.25 and 1.75

How to determine the values of the variables x and y?

The tringle represents the given parameter

On the triangle, we have the following equivalent ratio

5 : 8 = 5 + x : 10

7 : 8 = 7 + y : 10

These are true because the horizontal lines of the triangles are parallel

So, we have

5 : 8 = 5 + x : 10

Express as fraction

5/8 = 5 + x/10

This gives

5 + x = 6.25

Solve for x

x  = 1.25

Similarly, we have

7 : 8 = 7 + y : 10

So, we have

7/8 = 7 + y/10

This gives

7 + y = 10*7/8

Evaluate

7 + y = 8.75

So, we have

y = 1.75

Hence, the values of x and y are 1.25 and 1.75
