Answer:

You can find either x or y by applying the Theorem which states that sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°

Explanation:

The above is a cyclic quadrilateral.

What is a cyclic quadrilateral?

A Cyclic quadrilateral is having all the vertices of a quadrilateral ( four sided figure) inside a circle, that is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.

To find either x or y, we should note:

The sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180° or Angles in opposite segment are supplementary.

Therefore,

2x + 2x + 4= 180

4x = 180 - 4

4x = 176

x = 44°

To find y

3y + 8 + y = 180°

4y = 180 - 8

4y = 172

y = 43°

Therefore, you can find either x or y by applying the Theorem which states that sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°
