Answer:
y°=70
Explanation:
the angles inside a triangle must add up to 180 degrees, and thus the unknown interior angle is 180°-40°-30°=110°
this interior angle and the exterior angle are supplementary to each other and thus 110°+y°=180°
so y°=70°
you could also have used the theorem that states that the interior angles sum not adjacent to the exterior angle would equal the exterior angle
