2. Solve for x and y, Show your work

Answer:
use similarity to solve this
so the shape of side x is similar to side
x/6=10/8
8x=10 multiply by 6
8x=60
divide 60 by 8 to get 7.5
so x=7=5
using Pythagorean theorem
side RP=RS squared + SP squared
side RS=7=5
7.5squared =56.25
4.0+8.0=12
12squared=144
56.25+144=200.25
square root of 200.25=14.15
14.15=y+10
y=14.15-10
y=4.15
