Question

In this figure

Answer 1

Answer:

∠y = 62.5°

∠x  =  27.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

z is right angle. ∠z = 90°

∠x = ∠y - 35

∠x + ∠y + ∠z = 180      {Angle sum property of triangle}

y - 35 + y + 90 = 180

y + y - 35 + 90 = 180 {Combine like terms}

  2y  + 55 = 180

          2y = 180 -55      {Subtract 55 from both sides}

          2y = 125         {Divide both sides by 2}

            y = 125 /2

∠y = 62.5°

∠x = 62.5 - 35 = 27.5°
