Question

What is the value of y (angles)

Answer 1

39°

Explanation:

At the section the angles are connected, meaning that the angle across from w is the same as w and same applied to x. To find y, you first need to find w, to find the 2nd angle of the triangle of the right.

To do this, you need to add up 42 + 85.

(All triangles angles = 180)

42+85=127

subtract this from 180 to find angle w

180 - 127 = 53

53 = Angle w, which is the same as the angle across from angle w (second angle).

Second, take 53 + 88 = 141

Subtract this from 180

180-141 = 39.

39 is y°

or

y° = 39
