Find the values of x and y. show your work

The triangles are congruent by SSS, as indicated by the ticks through the sides. That means you can set corresponding side lengths equal to each and solve for x and y.

The corresponding sides are the sides which have the same amount of ticks; 4y + 8 corresponds to 24 and 7x - 4 corresponds to 31. Let's make the equations and solve.

4y + 8 = 24
4y = 16
y = 4

7x - 4 = 31
7x = 35
x = 5

x = 5
y = 4

You can find it by multiplying the areas it show u
