The polygons to the right are similar. Find the value of each variable.

x = 15 , y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, then ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

= = ( cross- multiply )

3x = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 15

---------------------------------------------

Similarly

= , so

3y = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 8

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm
