Question

Can you please help me with this problem

Answer 1

x = 35

y = 72.5

Explanation:

At your level, it is assumed that those lines are straight. Keeping this in mind, we can find the answer to this problem.

First, we have to find x.

x = 35º because opposite angles are equal (xº is opposite to 35º).

Then, we have to calculate y.

You should know that angles in a straight line add up to 180º.

So: yº + yº + 35º = 180º

You know have to solve this equation (solve for y).

y + y + 35 = 180

y + y = 180 - 35

y + y = 145

2y = 145

y = 145 / 2

y = 72.5

Check: 72.5 + 72.5 + 35 = 180

Answer 2

X = 35°

Y = 72.5°

Explanation:

x is vertically opposite to 35° so x = 35°

35 × 2 = 70

360 - 70 = 290

290 / 4 = 72.5

Y = 72.5°
