Solve the following problems: Find x, y

Mathematics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

x=1.25, y=1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles formed (one triangle with side lengths of 5, 7, 8 and another with sides 5+x, 10, and 7+y) are similar, because they share the same angle measures.

Now, 2 sides given that we can compare ratios with are the side with length 8, and the side with length 10. 10/8= 1.25, which is the ratio of the sides on these 2 triangles.

Now we want to find what the side '5+x' is equal to. To do that we can use our  ratio, and multiply 5 by 1.25 to find '5+x'. This is 6.25. To find x, all we need to do is subtract 5 from 6.25, which is 1.25.

Let's find y now. Do the same thing that we did with the side '5+x'; find what '7+y' is by multiplying 7 by 1.25, which is 8.75. 8.75-7= 1.75.

Hope this helps! :)
