Question

Plz help asap... Explain as much as possible to me plz

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

Since the 2 figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(8)/(x)` =
`(18)/(6)` ( cross- multiply )

18x = 48 ( divide both sides by 18 )

x =
`(48)/(18)` =
`(8)/(3)` = 2
`(2)/(3)`

Similarly

`(5)/(y)` =
`(18)/(6)` ( cross- multiply )

18y = 30 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y =
`(30)/(18)` =
`(5)/(3)` = 1
`(2)/(3)`
