Answer:

x = 8.75, y = 8.125

Explanation:

The triangles are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is


(8)/(5) =
(14)/(x) ( cross- multiply )

8x = 70 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 8.75

And


(8)/(5) =
(13)/(y) ( cross- multiply )

8y = 65 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = 8.125
