All the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. 

So, all the angles are equal to 180.

79+37+y= 180

Combine like terms.

116+y=180

Subtract 116 on both sides.

y=64

I hope this helps!

Hey there,

I believe but I'm not quite sure, I believe that the correct answer would be 42 because by subtracting 79-37, that should give you y.

Hope this helps. (forgive any errors.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse, which is x. The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is: $a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}$ , where a and b are the two lengths of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (which is x).

Steps:

-We know the two sides already, which are 15 and 8, so we can substitute a and b into the equation: $15^{2} +8^{2}=c^{2}$ (the c is the same as x, just letting you know)

-Then, simplify the equation to get: $225+64=x^{2}$ (I replaced c with x just so you can understand better that we are trying to find x, the hypotenuse)
