Question

Find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: x° = 90° and y° = 43°

Explanation:

Data

We conclude that the triangle is isosceles because 2 sides measure the same.

Also, because of the drawing, we observe that x° is a right triangle, so

x° = 90°.

Then, in isosceles triangles, ∠B = ∠C, and the sum of internal angles in a triangle equals 180°.

∠y + ∠B + ∠D = 180°

Substitution:

∠y + 47 + 90 = 180

∠y = 180 - 47 - 90

∠y = 43°
