Question

Can someone please help me understand how to answer for x, y? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 45° , y = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight, horizontal line is equal to 180°

x = 180° - 135°

x = 45°

We can find y because we know that all three angles of a triangle equal 180°

So what do we have?

63°, 45°, y

We can make an equation:

180° - (63°+45°) = y

180°- 108° = 72°

y = 72°

Hope this helped. I will revise any mistakes if needed. Please consider marking brainliest :)

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 45°

Y = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a supplementary angle (an pair of angles that create a straight line is equal to 180°) and there is the rule that all three angles in a triangle equal 180° as well.
