Question

Solve for y. Enter your answer in the box. y =

Answer 1

The triangle has all the angles 60 degrees so 8*y-4 = 60 so y = 8

Answer 2

ANSWER

The value of y is
$8$


EXPLANATION

The given triangle has all its sides equal.

This means that the measure of each
$60 \degree$


Since we are solving for y , we take the expression of the angle containing y and equate to 60°.


This implies that,

$(8y - 4) \degree = 60 \degree$


We add 4 to both sides of the equation to obtain,

$8y = 60 + 4$

This implies that,

$8y = 64$

We divide through by 8 to obtain,

$y = \frac{64}{8}$



This implies that,

$y = 8$
