Answer:
x= 1.25; y= 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The larger triangle is 1.25 times larger than the smaller one.
To find x solve for the length of the side of the larger triangle and subtract 5.
5(1.25)= 6.25
6.25-5= 1.25
To find y solve for the length of the side of the larger triangle and subtract 7.
7(1.25)= 8.75
8.75-7= 1.75
