Question

FIND VALUE OF X AND Y

Answer 1

x = 54

y = 114

Explanation:

y = 114 because of the Corresponding Angles Theorem:

"If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent."

(x + 12) + y = 180

x + 12 + 114 = 180

x + (126 - 126) = (180 - 126)

x = 54

Quick Check:

54 + 12 + 114 = 180 ✔
