Answer:

x = 6

y = 13

Explanation:

equilateral triangle, all sides are equal,

MN = MP

14 = 3x - 4

x = 18/3

x = 6

internal angles are also equal.

5y - 5 = 60 (180/3 = 60)

5y = 65

y = 13

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length
.

⭆ 14 = 3x - 4

⭆ 3x = 14 + 4

⭆ 3x = 18

⭆ x = 18/3

x = 6

In equilateral triangle, all three internal angles are also same and each are of 60°.

⭆ 5y - 5 = 60

⭆ 5y = 60 + 5

⭆ 5y = 65

⭆ y = 65/5

y = 13

★ Final answer :

  • x = 6
  • y = 13

Hope It Helps!
