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

$\bf \cfrac{1}{2}~~,~~\stackrel{2\cdot \frac{1}{2}}{1}~~,~~\stackrel{2\cdot 1}{2}~~,~~\stackrel{2\cdot 2}{4}~~,...$

so as you can see the common ratio is 2, and the first term is 1/2,

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio}\\ ----------\\ r=2\\ a_1=\frac{1}{2}\\ n=8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ S_8=\cfrac{1}{2}\left( \cfrac{1-2^8}{1-2} \right)\implies S_8=\cfrac{1}{2}\left( \cfrac{-255}{-1} \right)\implies S_8=\cfrac{255}{2}$
