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
