Question

In the diagram below BD is parallel to XY what is the value of y ?

Answer 1

Value if y should be a = 97

83+97=180

Answer 2

The line crossing the two parallel lines forms an allied angle
Using the theory “Allied angles add up to 180 degrees” we can find y

83 + y = 180
y = 180 - 83
y = 97 (Option A)
