Question

Find the values of and y the figure given below and choose the appropriate result ABC and XYZ

Answer 1

y = 8

x = 17

Explanation:

We can find the missing values using similarity ratio

15/30 = y/16 cross multiply expressions

30y = 240 divide both sides by 30

y = 8

Now do the same for x

15/30 = x/34 cross multiply expressions

30x = 510 divide both sides by 30

x = 17
