Question

Consider the triangle to the right.

a. Write an equation that can be used to find the value of y.

Answer 1

(56 + 19) / 5 = y

Explanation:

We can see that the given angle, 56, and the equation, will be equal, because the other two lines are congruent. So, we have to reverse the problem, and add 19, then divide by 5, so that it would isolate the variable for the solution.
