PLEASE HELP WITH THIS

What is the value for y?

y = ____


I can't seem to figure out the answer.

Answer 1

This is an isosceles triangle Therefore the base angles are equal to each other. Since angle A is 34 degrees, then so is angle B.

To figure out what angle C is, we know that all triangles have 180 degrees, thus:

180 = 4y + 34 + 34
180 = 4y + 68
112 = 4y
28 = y
