Question

find the value of x and y <br />step wise

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 50°  

y = 60°  

Step-by-step explanation:

Below a figure is attach having labelled angles, must see before the solution.

angle a = 60°                                                 corresponding angle

angle m = 60° + 50°                                      alternative angles

              = 110°  

         

m + n = 180°                                                   sum of angle on straight line  

n =180° - m

n = 180° - 110°

n = 70°

                   

60° + x + n = 180°                                           sum of angles of triangle

60° + x + 70° = 180°

x = 180° - 70° - 60°

x = 50°

angle p = n                                                     corresponding angles

         p =  70°

50° + p + y = 180                                   sum of angle on straight line  

y = 180° - 50° -70°

y = 60°
