Question

Can someone please answer this please for god's sake

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 36 degrees

y = 48 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given triangles are congruent

Hence, we can say that the interior angles are equal

We shall use the angle markings on each of the triangles

Using the markings, we can see that y is 48 degrees

Now, let us find the last angle measure of the first triangle

Mathematically, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180

Thus;

108 + 48 + A = 180

A = 180 - 48 - 108

A = 180 - 156 = 24

Now, the measure 2x-y is equal to this;

Hence;

2x -y = 24

2x = 24 + y

we have that y = 48

2x = 24 + 48

2x = 72

x = 72/2

x = 36 degrees
