Question

Find the values of x and y. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

Step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

$(x-1)\°=74\°$ -------> by corresponding angles, because the given lines are parallel

Solve for x

$(x-1)\°=74\°\\x=74+1 \\ x=75\°$

Step 2

Find the value of y

we know that

$(x-1)+40+(y-2)=180$

substitute the value of x and solve for y

$(75-1)+40+(y-2)=180$

$74+40-2+y=180$

$112+y=180$

$y=180-112$

$y=68\°$

therefore

the answer is the option B

$x=75\°, y=68\°$

Answer 2

Im pretty sure the answer is B
