50°
The value of xis
°, and the value of y is

Answer 1

x = 60°

y = 50°

Explanation:

✔️x + 50° + 70° = 180° (sum of a triangle)

x + 120° = 180°

Subtract 120° from each side

x = 180° - 120°

x = 60°

✔️50° + 60° = x + y (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)

110° = x + y

Plug in the value of x

110° = 60° + y

Subtract 60° from each side

110° - 60° = y

50° = y

y = 50°
