Answer = 288

Method:
Angles in a triangle add up to 180
The triangle is isosceles so the two interior angles at the bottom will be the same
180-36=144
Because you have two angles at the bottom you need to divide by two so
144/2=72 - that is the interior angle
To find y, all you need to do now is
360-72 = 288 (because angles round a point add up to 360)
And you have your answer
Hope this helps!

The angles in a isosceles triangle add up to 180 degrees.
so 180 degrees take away 36 degrees = 144 degrees.
base angles in a isoceles triangle are equal so 144 divided by 2 = 72 degrees.
so to find out y you do 360 - 72 = 288 degrees
therefore y = 288degrees

Butoxors [25]

Ans

I = sqrt(P/R)

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide both sides by R first

P/R = I^2 R/R

So,

I^2 = P/R

take the square root of both sides

I = sqrt(P/R)

Answer: The correct congruence statement is $\triangle QDJ\cong \triangle MCW$ .

Explanation:

It is given that A triangle Q D J. The base D J is horizontal and side Q D is vertical. Another triangle M C W is made. The base C W and side M C are neither horizontal nor vertical. Triangle M C W is to the right of triangle Q D J.

The sides Q D and M C are labeled with a single tick mark. The sides D J and C W are labeled with a double tick mark. The sides Q J and M W are labeled with a triple tick mark.

Draw two triangles according to the given information.

From the figure it is noticed that

$QD\cong MC$
