Answer:

x = 24

y = 12

Explanation:

∆DEF ~ ∆JHG

Therefore:

DE/JH = EF/HG = DF/JG

x/18 = 20/15 = 16/y

✔️Solve for x:

x/18 = 20/15

x/18 = 4/3

Cross multiply

x*3 = 4*18

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

✔️Solve for y:

20/15 = 16/y

4/3 = 16/y

Cross multiply

4*y = 16*3

4y = 48

y = 48/4

y = 12
