Question

Find the value of x and y


Please help

Answer 1

x = 63, y = 27 degrees.

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that:

x + y = 90 degrees

Also

x = 180 - 117

= 63 degrees. ( as adjacent angles add up to 180).

Substituting x = 63 into the first equation:

63 + y = 90

y = 90 - 63

= 27 degrees.
