Question

Solve for X and Y I will mark brainliest !!

Answer 1

Answer:

X=24, Y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the concept of similarity.

By observing the figure, we notice that the hypotenuse is 50, and the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 25.

That means the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is double the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle. Meaning, the other sides of the larger triangle would be double the smaller sides of the smaller triangle.

We already have the sides of the larger triangle, divide them by two to get x and y.

X = 48/2 = 24

Y = 14/2 = 7
