Please help! What is the value for y? Enter your answer in the box. y =

Answer 1

The little lines through the two sides mean they are the same length.

When the two sides are the same length the 2 corresponding angles are also the same, so Angle A and Angle B are both 34 degrees.

The three inside angles of a triangle equal 180, so angle C = 180 - 68 = 112

Angle C is given as 4y, so 4y = 112

Divide both sides by 4:

y = 112 / 4

y = 28
