Question

Use the diagram to find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

x = 6

y = 15

Explanation:

We can find the value for x and y using similarity ratio

8/12 = 10/y cross multiply expressions

8y = 120 divide both sides by 8

y = 15

12/(x+12) = 10/15

180 = 10x + 120 subtract 120 from both sides

60 = 10x divide both sides by 10

6 = x
