Answer:

AB = 5/4 y - 1 = 5/4 (12/13) -1 = 2/13

AC= 7/3 y - 2 = 7/3 (12/13) -2 = 2/13

Explanation:

Because it is a equilateral triangle, it means all sides have the same length.

AB = AC

5/4 y - 1 = 7/3 y - 2

5/4 y - 7/3 y = -2 +1

-13/12 y = -1

y = 12/13

input y to the equation.

AB = 5/4 y - 1 = 5/4 (12/13) -1 = 2/13

AC= 7/3 y - 2 = 7/3 (12/13) -2 = 2/13
