Answer:

AX = 20

AY = 15

Explanation:

The perimeter is ...

P = AC +CB +BA = (AX +XC) +CB +(BY +YA)

128 = AX +32 + 37 +24 +AY

35 = AX +AY

The ratios of corresponding sides are proportional:

AX/AY = XC/YB = 32/24 = 4/3

This tells us ...

AX = 4/3·AY

Substituting, we get ...

35 = (4/3)AY +AY = (7/3)AY

(3/7)·35 = 15 = AY

AX = 35 -AY = 20

The side measures are AX = 20, AY = 15.
