Answer:

x = 6 , y = 3.5

Explanation:

since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is


(IS)/(AE) =
(KS)/(CE) ( substitute values )


(x)/(12) =
(4)/(8) ( cross- multiply )

8x = 12 × 4 = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 6

and


(IK)/(AC) =
(KS)/(CE) ( substitute values )


(y)/(7) =
(4)/(8) ( cross- multiply )

8y = 7 × 4 = 28 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y =
(28)/(8) = 3.5
