mathematical connections the larger triangle is a dilation of the smaller triangle. find the values of $x$ and $y$ . two triangles and a point c are shown. a line is drawn from each vertex of the larger triangle to point c, first passing through the corresponding vertex of smaller triangle. the segment from point c to the left base vertex of the larger triangle is labeled 6 and the segment from point c to the left base vertex of the smaller triangle is labeled 2. the top angle of the larger triangle is labeled 3 y minus 34 degrees and the adjacent side is labeled 2 x plus 8. the top angle of the smaller triangle is labeled y plus 16 degrees and the adjacent side is labeled x plus 1.
