Question

In the figure, . Find x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 52° and y = 137°

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Find the value of x using the large right triangle, remember that the sum of the internal angles in a triangle equals 180°.

   x  + 38 + 90 = 180

  x = 180 - 90 - 38

  x = 52°

2.- To find y, we notice that x and y -9 are supplementary angles so their sum gives 180°.

           x + y - 9 = 180

Substitution

          52 + y - 9 = 180

          y = 180 + 9 - 52

          y = 137°
