Correct answer:

x =  6.25 inch
y =  10 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=5\text{ inch } \\ b=8\text{ inch } \\ c=10\text{ inch } \\ k=c\mathrm{/}b=10\mathrm{/}8={\displaystyle \frac{5}{4}}=1.25 \\ x=k\cdot a=1.25\cdot 5=6.25\text{ inch} \end{gathered}$$

$y=k\cdot b=1.25\cdot 8=10\text{ inch}$
