Answer 1

Answer:

1. y=7.2

2. x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Triangles CMN and CBA are similar triangles (by AAA postulate). Similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides, so

$\dfrac{CM}{CB}=\dfrac{CN}{CA}\\ \\\dfrac{12}{12+y}=\dfrac{10}{10+6}\\ \\12\cdot 16=10\cdot (12+y)\\ \\192=120+10y\\ \\10y=72\\ \\y=7.2$

2. GK is angle G bisector. Use angle bisector's property:

$\dfrac{GH}{GI}=\dfrac{KH}{KI}\\ \\\dfrac{40}{24}=\dfrac{30}{x}\\ \\40x=24\cdot 30\\ \\4x=24\cdot 3\\ \\x=6\cdot 3=18$
