Question

Helpppp explainn how to solve it

Answer 1

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
