Question

Find the measures of angles x and y in the given figure.

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 120° = 180° (Angle Sum Property)

y = 180° - 120°

y = 60°

Exterior Angle Property of a triangle states that the sum of two interior opposite angles equals to the exterior angle.

50° + x = 120° (Exterior Angle Property)

x = 120° - 50°

x = 70°

Hence, y = 60°

x = 70°
