The value of y is
degrees.
To find the value of y, we can use the properties of the angles in the triangle ACD and the fact that AC = BD.
1. Angle Sum Property of a Triangle:
2. Simplify and Solve for x:
3. Exterior Angle Property:
4. Simplify and Solve for x:
5. Substitute x back into the Equation from Step 2:
6. Solve for y:
So, the value of y is
degrees.
