Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{80}{3}[/tex], y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{y}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{4}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 6

Corresponding angles are congruent.

In the left figure the adjacent angle, inside the polygon is

180° - 100° = 80°, thus

3x = 80 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = [tex]\frac{80}{3}[/tex]
