Answer:
Yes...your right...but no...its 28 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
So bascially, angle C is 90 degrees. So is angle D.
We know A is 28 degrees.
We know a tiangle is 180 degrees.
We dont know the degree of C in the first trinagle or the secodn triangle, but again, we know the total degrees of C is 90.
To find the missing angle, we must find what C is first.
So, we know we can subtract 90 from 180 to get 90. Since there is a 90 degree angle in the first triangle.
Next we can subtract 28, since we know that is the measure of angle A.
This gets us 62.
Now subtract 62 from the 90 degrees of angle C. THis will find us its angle in the second traingle.
This gets us 28.
This is our missing number.
So you were wrong in the sense that you solved for the wrong angle y, but you did get the right answer:
Since we know that a triangle is 180, and one of these is a right angle, there is 90 degrees.
If we subtracrt the 28 we got just now, we would get 62, which is angle B, or DBC.
However, the 28 is angle C, or DCB.
So your answer is actually 28, not 62.
Hope this helps!
