The value of angle y in the diagram is 119°. ( option C).

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180°. This means that these angles are supplementary.

Therefore, let's name the interior angles as a,b,c

133 + a = 180

a = 180 - 133

a = 47°

b + 108 = 180

b = 180 - 108

b = 72°

Using the exterior angle theorem

a+b = y

y = 47 + 72

y = 119°

Therefore, the value of y in the diagram is 114°
