Question

Find the value of x and y...

Notice the entire outside is a 24 x 24 square...
*You have to find y FIRST.

Answer 1

x = 29, y = 3

Explanation:

If the side lengths of the square are 24, then 5y + 3y = 24.

So 8y = 24, hence y = 3.

Now since all the angles in the square are right angles, then x + x + 9y + 5 = 90

So 2x + 9(3) + 5 = 90

2x = 58

Hence, x = 29
