Question

Find x and y in the given figure

Answer 1

To resolve the stated issue, we will make use of the triangle's external property.

According to the triangle's external property, a triangle's exterior angle equals the sum of its two opposite inner angles.

Given:

A 50-degree angle is opposite a 120-degree external angle.

x+50=120

x=120-50

x=70

Also the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180

x+y+50=180

70+y+50=180

y=180-70-50

y=180-120

y=60

So, value of y is 60 degree and x is 70 degree.
