Question

What is the value of y?

Answer 1

Answer: 44°

Explanation:-

Method 1:-

We know that the sum of the measurements of two interior angles is equal to the measurement of the exterior angle.

i.e.,

y + y = 88°

→ 2y = 88°

→ y = 88°/2

→ y = 44° (D)

Method 2:-

The adjacent angel of the angle of measurement 88° is 92°.

We know,

Sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°

According to the Question:-

y + y + 92° = 180°

→ 2y = 180° - 92°

→ 2y = 88°

→ y = 44° (D)

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is 180 degrees, the top part is 88.

180 - 88 = 92

92/2 = 46.
