Find X,Y
Please help I need this done by today.

Answer 1

x = 3, y = 2

Explanation:

The triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(x)/(6)` =
`(1.5)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 3

and

`(y)/(4)` =
`(1.5)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 2
