Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given triangle is a right angle triangle .
The known sides of the triangle that is opposite to angle y is 8 units while the side adjacent is 10 units.
The value of y can be calculated using the tangent ratio.
We solve for y to get,
We evaluate to obtain,

Given:
To find:
The value of x and measure of ∠A.
Solution:
Let C be angle the vertically opposite to ∠A.
The reference image for answer is attached below.
By vertical angle theorem:
m∠A = m∠C
m∠C = 10x + 24°
By the corresponding angle theorem:
m∠C = m∠B
Subtract 24° on both sides.
Subtract 6x from both sides.
Divide by 4 on both sides.
The value of x is 12°.
The measure of ∠A is 144°.
