Question

Find the value of x and y

Answer 1

x = 30, y = 20

Explanation:

Given the 3 sides of the triangle are congruent (equal) , single dash through each side.

Then the triangle is equilateral , with tge angles = 60° , then

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

and

3y = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 20

Answer 2

Answers: x = 30 and y = 20

Reason

The tick marks tell us "all sides are the same length". This triangle is equilateral.

Any equilateral triangle has each angle of 60 degrees.

2x = 60 leads to x = 30 since 2x = 2*30 = 60.

3y = 60 leads to y = 20 since 3y = 3*20 = 60.
