Triangle A

hypotenuse: 3y + x
leg: y - x

Triangle B

hypotenuse: y + 5
leg: x + 5

Congruency => 3y + x = y + 5 and y - x = x + 5

Solve the system

3y + x = y + 5 -> 2y + x = 5
y - x = x + 5 -> y - 2x = 5

  2y + x = 5
-2y + 4x = -10

5x = -5
x = -1
y = (5 -(-1)) / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Verify:

 hypotenuses
3y + x = 9 - 1 = 8
y + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8

Legs:

y - x = 3 -(-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
x + 5 = -1 + 5 = 4.

Then both hypotenuses and both legs are congruent.

Answer: x = -1 and y = 3

What is the value of x^3\cdot y^1x ​3 ​​ ⋅y ​1 ​​ x, start superscript, 3, end superscript, dot, y, start superscript, 1, end su
satela [25.4K]

The expression x^3y means that you have to cube the value of x and multiply it by the value of y.

So, the value of x is 5, which becomes 125 when cubed. When we multiply it by the value of y, which is 10, the result is 1250:

x^3y = 5^3\cdot 10 = 125\cdot 10 = 1250
