That is a question about angles.

There are two informations in that image that we should to note:

  1. The sum of the angles x and y is a right angle. A right angle is a 90° angle. That is to say
    x + y = 90.
  2. The sum of the angle x and the 117° angle is a straight angle. A straight angle is an angle that measure 180°. In other words,
    x + 117 = 180.

With these two informations we can solve that question. The first step is solve the second equation, and we will find the x value. Finally, we change the x value in the first equation and we find the y value. Let's solve the equations:

Second equation:


x + 117 = 180\\x = 180 - 117\\x = 63

So, the value of x is 63°. Let's replace the x value in the first equation.

First equation:


x+y = 90\\63 + y = 90\\y = 90 - 63\\y = 27

Thus, the value of y is 27°.

Therefore, the correct option is the option says x = 63°, y = 27°.

I hope I've helped. :D

Enjoy your studies. \o/

Answer:

x = 63; y = 27

Explanation:

x + 117 = 180

x = 180 - 117

x = 63

x + y = 90

63 + y = 90

y = 90 - 63

y = 27

Bam! UwU

Lol Hope this helps !
