Please help me with this

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of <Y = 85 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve this problem algebraically if you know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

if you add all of these angles and set them equal to 180, you can find what "a" is.

a+2a+a+10=180 so 4a+10=180 so a is 42.5 (which is equal to angle x)

then looking at all of the options, it can be seen that the first two options are incorrect because angle x is equal to 42.5 degrees.

you know that angle y is equal to 2a, so multiplying "a" by two, you can find that angle y is 85 degrees.
