Question

Use the diagram and the Exterior Angle Theorem to solve for y.
Y= ______

Answer 1

Hello there!

Answer:

15

Explanation:

According to Exterior Angle Theorem for ∠С in ∆ ABC:

∠BAC + ∠ABC = ∠ACD

(5y + 3)° + (4y + 8)° = 146°

5y + 3 + 4y + 8 = 146

9y + 11 = 146

9y + 11 - 11 = 146 - 11

9y = 135

y = 15
