Answer 1

Answer:

$y =112$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find y

The attached triangle is isosceles; so:

$x - 5=34$

Also, we have:

$y + x - 5 + 34=180$ --- angles in a triangle

Substitute: $x - 5=34$

$y + 34 + 34=180$

Collect like terms

$y =- 34 - 34+180$

$y =112$
