It is given that the area of the triangle is \(( x + y ) \sqrt { 3 } \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\).
  1. Show that \(4 x + 4 y = x y\). When the vertices of the triangle are placed on the circumference of a circle, \(A C\) is a diameter of the circle.
  2. Determine the value of \(x\) and the value of \(y\).
