Answer:
x = 42°
y = 69°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Given triangle is an isosceles triangle.
Therefore, two sides will be equal and measure 8 yd.
Measure of 3rd side of the triangle = 6 yd
Perimeter of the garden = 8 + 8 + 6
= 22 yd
In an isosceles triangle, opposite angles of the equal sides will be equal.
Therefore, y = 69°
By the property of interior angles of a triangle,
x° + y° + 69° = 180°
x° + 69° + 69° = 180°
x = 180 - 138
x = 42°
