Respuesta :

x = 17
y = 18

I subtracted the other sides of the first triangle by 2 to get the missing values.

Answer:

[tex]\Rightarrow x=14.25[/tex]

And [tex]\Rightarrow y=15[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given similar triangles:

So, the corresponding sides are in same proportion in case of similar triangles.

So,[tex]\frac{8}{6}=\frac{19}{x}=\frac{20}{y}[/tex]

Taking:[tex]\frac{8}{6}=\frac{19}{x}[/tex]

[tex]8x=19\cdot 6[/tex]

[tex]8x=114[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=14.25[/tex]

Now, taking: [tex]\frac{19}{x}=\frac{20}{y}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{19}{14.25}=\frac{20}{y}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 19y=20\cdot 14.25[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow y=\frac{20\cdot 14.25}{19}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow y=15[/tex].
