Answer:

x=11

y=4

Explanation:

To solve for x, the polygon is symmetrical (because it is regular). So x-3 = 8

x= 11

Similar means the sides are proportional (will be in a ratio)

Big polygon ~ small polygon

16 ~4

8~y/2

We can use these to solve for y.


(16)/(4) =(8)/(y-2)

Cross multiply: 16y-32 = 32

y=4
