Question

Find the value of x and y

Answer 1

x = 3

y = 10

Explanation:

x/4 = 6/8

x/4 = 3/4

x = 3 * 4 / 4

x = 3

y/8 = 5/4

y = 8 * 5 / 4

y = 10

Answer 2

x = 3, y = 10.

Explanation:

The 2 triangles are similar so the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

x/6 = 4/8

x/6 = 1/2

x = 6/2 = 3.

y/5 = 8/4 = 2

y = 5*2 = 10,
