Question

HELP DUE IN 5 MINS! x=?? y=??

Answer 1

since triangle abc~ def

their sides will be proportional

AB/de=ac/df

6/15=22/x

doing crisscrossed multiplication

6x=22×15

x=22×15/6=55

again

AB/de=BC/EF

6/15=18/y

doing crisscrossed multiplication

6y=15×18

y=15×18/6=15×3=45

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 55

y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the ratio between similar sides are the same. So,

AB/ED = BC/EF = AC/DF

Substitute values that they give

6/15 = 18/y = 22/x

Solve 6/15 = 18/y by cross-multiplying

6y = 15*18 = 324

Divide both sides by 6

y= 45

Solve 6/15 = 22/x by cross-multiplying.

6x = 22*15 = 330

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 55

Because there is some dispute between the answers, let's check the ratios.

6/15 = 18/45 = 22/55

0.4 = 0.4 = 0.4

True, x = 55 and y=45
