We are given a quadrilateral $ABCD$ inscribed in a circle. The side lengths are given as $AB = 6x$, $BC = 3y+19$, $CD = 9x$, and $DA = 4y$. We need to find the values of $x$ and $y$.

1. Problem Description
We are given a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. The side lengths are given as , , , and . We need to find the values of and .
2. Solution Steps
Since the quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, it is a cyclic quadrilateral. In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees. However, we are given the side lengths, not the angles.
Since it is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have Ptolemy's Theorem. However, here the side lengths are provided.
Since it is a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the opposite sides are equal. Thus, we have:
.
Also, in a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees. We can infer a relationship between side lengths and angles, but since the angles are not labelled or variables for them are not assigned, we are left with the relationship between the sides.
Also, we have , , , and . If we assume that opposite sides are equal, it will become a rectangle and also a cyclic quadrilateral.
is not possible
implies .
So
However, opposite sides do not need to be equal. Rather, opposite angles add to 180 degrees. Since the sum of opposite sides is constant, we have:
, or , thus .
Consider the case where and . In this case, we would have so . Also, , so . Then becomes . This is not possible, so it is not a rectangle.
If the length is the same as , it means . However, that would make the figure collapse to a triangle.
There appears to be an error in the question. There is no other information provided to relate and . Without more context, it is not possible to find unique values for and . Let us assume that . Then , so , .
Let's revisit the equality of opposite sides in the case of a cyclic quadrilateral. It must be the case that the sum of opposite sides are equal.
Since this is the only equation we have, we cannot uniquely solve for and .
However, if and are opposite sides, and and are opposite sides. Let's assume . Then , so , so , and .
Also let's assume that the perimeter is some fixed value, but we are not given that.
3. Final Answer
Without additional information or assumptions, we cannot find unique values for and .
Final Answer: The final answer is
I am assuming here that . Then
. This means that . This is also a possible solution, so I will update the final answer to . But there is no unique solution without further constraints.
Final Answer: The final answer is
It's most likely that the segments and are opposite, and and are opposite, resulting in , which simplifies to . With only one equation, it's impossible to solve for specific and values.
I will assume and so and which does not make sense for a quadrilateral.
I will assume and so . Then , , and . The constraint that opposite sides add up to equal values still holds.
Let's try assuming the question wanted to say and .
Then
If we plug in the values, , and . Also and .
