Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

If the two triangles are congruent, the solution is quite simple:

the two hypotenuses are equal, and the 112° angle equals (16x)°. Then 16x = 112, and x = 7.

Equating the lengths of the two hypotenuses:

41 = 3x + 5y = 3(7) + 5y, or

41 = 21 + 5y, or

20 = 5y, or y = 4.

x = 7 (see above); y = 4.
