find x and y

Answer 1

X is 8 the answer is 8

Answer 2

x = 8, y = 6/√3.

Explanation:

The smaller triangle and the larger triangle are similar.

4 / 4√3 = (x - 6) / y

1/√3 = (x - 6) / y

Also

y/6 = 1/√3

⇒ √3y = 6

⇒ y = 6/√3

Substitute for y in the first equation:

1/√3 = (x - 6) / 6/√3

⇒ 1/√3 * 6/√3 = x - 6

⇒ x - 6 = 2

⇒ x = 8
