Question

Solve for the value of x in the figure below.

Solve for the value of y in the figure below.
​

Answer 1

x=37

y=125

Explanation:

97+28+x+18=180 (sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180)

143+x=180

x=180-143

x=37

y+x+18=180 (sum of the angles on a straight line is 180°)

y+37+18=180

y+55=180

y=180-55

y=125

or

y=97+28(exterior angle of a triangle= 2 interior opposite angles)

y= 125
