Question

The triangle shown,
What is y?

Answer 1

y = 136 degrees

Explanation:

We can see that both x and y lie on a straight line. Their two angles add up to be a straight line....

We already know the value of x (44)

x + y = 180 degrees

44 + y = 180

(Subtract from both sides)

y = 136

So, y is 136 degrees

This looks correct, since angle y seems to be an obtuse angle
