Question

Find the value of x and y in the following figure.



Please give me step by step explanation

Answer 1

x+y+40°=180°(Angle Sum property which says that the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°)

x=90°(As you can see, it is a right angle which is equal to 90°)

90°+40°+y=180°

130°+y=180°

y=180°-130°

y=50°

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 90 y= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y+40=180(angle sum property)

x=90(right angled triangle)

90+40+y=180

130+y=180

y=180-130

y=50
