Question

Find y using the Angle Sum Theorem

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey, there!!

Look this figure, simply we find that;

In triangle ABC,

angle CBD is an exterior angle of a triangle.

and its measure is 90°

Then,

angle CBD= y +48° {sum of interior opposite angle is equal to exterior angle or from theorem}.

or, 90°= y + 48°

Shifting, 48° in left side,

90°-48°= y

Therefore, the value of y is 42°.

Hope it helps...
