Question

Please solve this question for me

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 65° and y = 77.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle with the 50 degree angle and x, is an isosceles triangle. That means that the other unlabeled angle is also equal to x degrees.

x + x + 50 = 180

2x + 50 = 180

2x = 130

x = 65°.

Since x = 65 degrees, and the two angles make a 90 degree angle, the other unlabeled angle will be 90 - 65 = 25 degrees.

Since the other triangle is also isosceles, that triangle has two angles that measure y degrees and one angle measuring 25 degrees.

y + y + 25 = 180

2y + 25 = 180

2y = 155

y = 77.5°.

Hope this helps!
