The missing side of the figure is solved using similar triangle to get

y = 14 and x = 9

How to find the value of x

The value of x and y is solved using similar triangle.

With this concept, we have the proportion:

11 + 7 = 18

solving for y

11 / 18 = y / 23

y = 23 * 11 / 18

y = 14.06

solving for x

7/18 = x / 23

x = 23 * 7 / 18

x = 8.94

x = 9
