The values of x and y are 5 and 2, respectively.
Given:
Angle B is 44° more than angle C
To find:
The values of x and y
Solution:
We can obtain the required values by forming an equation.
The value of angle B=(10x+17)°
The value of angle C=(15y-7)°
Now, we know that angle B is 44° more than angle C.
So, angle B=angle C+44°
10x+17=15y-7+44
10x-15y=44-7-17
10x-15y=20
2x-3y=4 (1)
We know that angle A=90° since it is an angle formed in the semi-circle.
Angle A+angle B+Angle C=180°
Using values,
90°+10x+17°+15y-7°=180°
10x+15y=180°-100°
10x+15y=80°
2x+3y=16° (2)
On adding (1) and (2), we get
2x-3y+2x+3y=4+16
4x=20
x=5
We will put x=5 in (1),
2x-3y=4
2(5)-3y=4
10-4=3y
6=3y
2=y
Therefore, the values of x and y are 5 and 2, respectively.
