Question

Find the value of x and y in the triangle below.

Value of X:
Value of Y:

Answer 1

x = 7
y = 50

First I subtracted 98 from 180 to get 82. Since I know the left and right angle are equal I divide 82 by 2 to get 41.

The left and right angles are each 41.

Now you can find x and y.

5x+6=41
5x=35
X=7

y-9=41
y=50
