Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, set up the following proportion. Note that these drawings don't represent real triangles.

x/5 = 28/4                       Cross Multiply

4x = 28*5                        Combine

4x = 150                          Divide by 4

x = 150/4

x  = 37.5

y/21 = 4/28

28y = 4*21

y = 4*21/28

y = 3
