1. x=35, y=18

2. x=20, y=23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor.Given that;

ΔJKL ∼ ΔNML then

JK/NM =KL/ML

40/16=x/14

x=(40*14)/16 =35

Applying same ratio to find y;

LJ/LN=JK/NM

45/y=40/16

y⇒(45*16)/40 =18

2.

Given that ΔDEF∼ ΔHJG then;

HJ/DE=JG/EF

15/9=y/14

y=(15*14)/9

y=23.3

Applying the same ratio in finding value of x;

HJ/DE=GH/FD

15/9=x/12

x=(15*12)/9 =20

nevsk [136]
Let C₀ be current consumption. Then consumption (C) after t years is: 
<span>C(t) = C₀ * (1 + 0.1)^t </span>
<span>C(t) = C₀ * (1.1)^t </span>

<span>After 10 years, consumption will be: </span>
<span>C(10) = C₀*(1.1)^10 </span>
<span>C(10) = 2.5937424601 C₀ </span>

<span>Total percentage increase after 10 years: </span>
<span>(2.5937424601 C₀ - C₀) / C₀ = 1.5937424601 C₀ / C₀ = 1.5937424601 = 159.37% </span>
