Y = 54.
This is really complicated to explain, but since x is 36 and the angle on the other side of the known angle is also 36, that makes y 54. Each pair of angles has to equal to 90 degrees.
Hope this helps!
The answer is 0.35 pounds in each bag, I believe.
X = 25.5 mm.
Using the similarity statement given, that ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, we set up a proportion:
8.5/x = 4/12
Cross multiply:
4*x = 8.5*12
4x = 102
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 102/4
x = 25.5
