Z = 140
X = 40
Y = 40
Explanation:
Z and the angle given (140 degrees) are vertical angles, and are therefore congruent
We know that x and y are vertical angles, so they are also congruent to each other
You know that together, the angles have to add up to 360
140 + 140 + x + y = 360
Another way of putting it:
360-280 = 80
Now, we have to divide by two since we need to find x AND y
80/2 = 40
Therefore, your answers for x and y are 40
To double check, you can add up the angles and see if they equal 360
140 + 140 + 40 + 40
280 + 80 = 360
13 is not the same as 1/3! The division symbol is not a symbol used to connect two numbers, it is used to find their quotient. For example, 6/2 would be like saying: You have 6 cookies, and 2 friends. How many cookies does each friend get? The answer is obviously not 62, it is 3! So, the exact quotient is 0.3 repeating. You could memorize this or use the fact that 0.9 repeating is 1.
