Question

What is the value of y?​

Answer 1

Y = 119

Explanation:

X is vertical to the angle equaling 119.

(veritcal angles are opposite of eachother when two lines are intersecting.)

Since X and Y are corresponding, Y will also be equal to 119.

(corresponding angles are in matching corners with the transversal lines)

Answer 2

y° = 119°

Explanation:

Alternate interior angles are a type of angle that is formed when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They are located on the inner side of the parallel lines, on opposite sides of the transversal.

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

They are in Z in shape.

In this case:

y° and 119° are Alternate interior angle.

They are congruent.

So,

y° = 119°

Therefore, the value of y is 119°
