Answer:

  • x = 2 1/4
  • y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the corresponding dimensions:

  larger : smaller

heigh: 8 : y

width: 12 : 9

depth: 3 : x

Since the figures are similar, corresponding values are proportional. This means ...

  y/8 = 9/12

  y = 8(9/12)

  y = 6

__

  x/3 = 9/12

  x = 3(9/12) = 9/4

  x = 2 1/4
