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.
