Question

Calculate the missing values in these similar triangles

Please show work , if u can.

Thank you <3

Answer 1

x = 16

y = 70.4

Explanation:

Two triangles are similar, so we can use the similarity ratio to so find the variables

(2.8)/(22.4) = (8.8)/y cross multiply expressions

197.12 = (2.8)*y divide both sides by 2.8

70.4 = y

use same operation to find x

(2.8)/(22.4) = x/128 cross multiply expressions

358.4 = (22.4)*x divide both sides by 22.4

16 = x
