Question

What is the value of y? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the figure, we know that because ΔABC is isosceles, ∠B = ∠C, so we know that 75 = 3x, x = 15. Next, following the rule that all angles in a triangle sum to 180°, we can set up this equation and solve it:

  4y + 10 + 75 + 75 = 180

                          4y = 180 - 160

                            y = 20

                         ∴ y = 5
