Answer:

x = 48; y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

20/5 = 52/y

4 = 52/y

4y = 52

y = 13

20/5 = x/12

4 = x/12

x = 4 * 12

x = 48

Answer:

x = 48, y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they have a pair of verticle angles, this means the triangles are similar. You find a common side (the length 5 and length 20) and you know the ratio, (divide 20 by 5) aka. the larger triangle is 4 times larger than the smaller one. That means the side lengths are also 1/4 scale. So the bigger triangle = 12(length of side)*4(ratio). Also since y is on the smaller triangle, you scale it down by 1/4, so 52 (the side length) / 4 (ratio) is 13. So y = 13, x =48
