Question

Find the values of x and y. 40 sy 40 xº X = y= 0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 30°

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ∆ where you find x is an isosceles ∆ because two of its sides has a length of 40 each, since the other triangle has equal angles of 60° each, it also has equal length sides of 40.

Therefore, x is a base triangle of the isosceles, thus:

x = ½(180 - (180 - 60))

x = ½(180 - 120)

x = ½(60)

x = 30°

Let's find y.

8y = 40 (sides of an equilateral ∆ are equal)

Divide both sides by 8

y = 5
