Answer: x=90° y=43°

Step-by-step explanation: Right away you may be able to tell that x is a right triangle, which is 90°. Now, look at the two small lines cutting through some of the triangle. That means the sides are congruent, and that the bottom two angles are the same. So if angle C is 47°, then so is D. A triangle has 180° in total. So since we already have 47° and 90°, subtract 47 and 90 from 180 to get angle y.
