Question

What are the values of x and y given that ABCD ≅ EFGH?

Answer 1

x = 7

y = 8

Explanation:

Since the shapes are similar then <B = <F and <A = <E

<B = <F so

10x + 65 = 135 subtract 65 from both sides

10x = 70 divide both sides by 10

x = 7

<A = <E so

4y - 4 = 28 add 4 to both sides

4y = 32 divide both sides by 4

y = 8
