So to begin, you need to find x and y. If you have answer options, plug those in. If you don't, your toast. Just kidding :)
So, your answer would be y3=13. I think you can handle the rest. 3 * what equals 13?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...
ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity
__
The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.
PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8
PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14
The side lengths of interest are ...
PQ = 8, PR = 14
It would be called an ecological model.
40%less
You take 36/60
That equals 60%
This means that 36 is 60% of 60
So in 24 is 40% of 60 or 36 is 40% less than 60
