Question

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

Answer 1

In this problem, we want to find the measure of the third angle of the given triangle. Remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

Let's start off by writing an equation representing the sum of the interior angles of the given triangle.
y+79+37=180

Now, let's solve the equation for the variable 'y'.
y+79+37=180

Combine like terms:
y+116=180

Subtract 116 from both sides of the equation:
y+116-116=180-116
y=64

The measure of angle y is 64 degrees.

Answer 2

I believe it is 64 degrees
