x = 14 and y = 10
Explanation:
Two shapes are similar if they have the same form but not necessarily the same size. In other words, when shapes are similar they are in proportion. Since you haven't provided any diagram, I'll choose two irregular polygon that are similar as indicated in the figure below. So we can calculate both x and y with proportions as follows:
[tex]For \ x: \\ \\ \frac{x}{7}=\frac{16}{8} \\ \\ x=\frac{7\times 16}{8} \\ \\ x=14 \\ \\ \\ For \ y: \\ \\ \frac{y}{20}=\frac{8}{16} \\ \\ y=\frac{8\times 20}{16} \\ \\ y=10[/tex]
