Answer:

x = 28/3

y = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are congruent, then corresponding sides are equal.

x = 4y

x + 1 = y + 8

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination. Using substitution:

4y + 1 = y + 8

3y = 7

y = 7/3

Solving for x:

x = 28/3

Apply the Pythagoras Theorem

${c }^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
${9 }^{2} = {7}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
$81 = 49+ {b}^{2}$
$81 - 49 = {b}^{2}$
$32= {b}^{2}$
Take square root of both sides

$b = \sqrt{32}$
$b = 4 \sqrt{2}$

Answer:

I think it may be 120 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A F is 13 using pythagorean theorem on triangle CED and applying the hypotenuse length to A F.

ABC is similar to triangle CED and is dilated by a factor of 3 so the base is 36.

using pythagorean theorem on triangle ABC gets the hypotenuse length of 39 which can be applied to FE

add all the values together

39 + 13 + 15 + 36 +12 +5 = 120
