Question

Solve for Y please!!!

Answer 1

From the markings and lines, we can tell this is an equilateral triangle. Since it is an equilateral triangle, we know that each angle is 60°.
Using this information, we can make and solve an equation:
8y - 4 = 60°    (we know that it is equal to 60°, since it is an equilateral triangle)8y = 64°         (we added both sides by 4 to get the y's alone on one side)y = 8°              (we divide both sides by 8 to find out what just y is)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Answer:
So y is equal to 8°
