Answer:

x = 24

y = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle are similar because,

Each corresponding angles in the triangles are equal (AAA).

From the diagram,

5/10 = 12/x

Solving for x

x = (10×12)/5

x = 24

Also applying pythagoras theorem to get the hypotenuse of the larger side in the biggerr triangle.

y² = √(10²+24²)

a = √(100+576)

a = √(676)

a = 26.
