Answer:

x = 8.75, y = 8.125

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{14}{x}[/tex] ( cross-  multiply )

8x = 70 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 8.75

And

[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{y}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

8y = 65 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = 8.125
