Question

An architect designs two similar triangular patios. The first patio has angle measures of (x − 10)°, (y + 25)°, and 60°. The second patio has angle measures of (x – 5)°, 55°, and 65°. Find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:x=65 y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

1) solve for x in the second triangle by adding each degree together and setting it equal to 180 (every triangle equals 180°)

2) x should equal 65

3) do the same for the first triangle except plug in 65 (since we know it equals x) and solve for y.
