Answer
The following figure is a trapezium. We get 180° when we add the angles on the same side of the transversal in a trapezium. Keeping that in mind let's find 'x' and 'y'.
⇒ 85° + x = 180°
⇒ x + 85° - 85° = 180° - 85°
⇒ x = 95°
⇒ y + 110° = 180°
⇒ y + 110° - 110° = 180° - 110°
⇒ y = 70°
Sum of all interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. Let's check if the values of 'x' and 'y' along with the other given values form a quadrilateral.
⇒ 85° + 110° + 95° + 70°
⇒ 360°
∴ x = 95° and y = 70° in the given figure.

Additional Information
A simple closed figure is known as a polygon.
There are two types of polygons. There are ⇒
- Regular Polygon → All sides and angles are equal.
- Irregular Polygon → All sides and angles are not equal.
Quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides and the sum of the angles is 360°
We have six main quadrilaterals in mathematics. They are ⇒
- Parallelogram
- Kite
- Rhombus
- Trapezium
- Rectangle
- Square

Question:-
Find the values of x and y in the given figure.
In the figure, on the same side of a transversal When we add the two angles add up to 180°
So, let's find two angles given X and Y
Let's find 'X' first
=》 85° + X° = 180 °
=》X ° = 180 ° - 85°
=》X ° = 95 °
•°• We got the value of " X" as 95°
Let's Find the value of 'Y' secondly
=》 Y° + 110 ° = 180 °
=》 Y = 180 °- 110°
=》 Y = 70°
•°• We got the value of Y as 70°
Know more!
- We know that in a quadrilateral the interior angle sum up to 360° (a complete rotation)
So, if we add the four values and get 360° as answer then our answer is all right
Quick check
=》70° + 95 ° + 85 ° + 110 ° = 360 ° [ As we know sum of a quadrilateral is 360 °]
=》360 ° = 360 °
LHS = RHS
•°• Our answer is right that is X is 95 ° and Y is 70 °
a quadrilateral with one pair of sides parallel.
Do trapezium have parallel side ?
According to the definition of trapezium, it is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. Thus, a trapezium does have parallel sides.
