Question

Given that mLa = 36° and m

Answer 1

154 degrees

Explanation:

you can find measure of angle y, since it is the supplement of angle a, so

measure of angle y = 180 - measure of angle a, which is 144 degrees

you can find the measure of angle x, by finding its complement.

Looking at the center triangle, we see that it is formed from angle a, the supplement of angle b, and the supplement of angle x, so the equation is 180 = 36 + 180 - 62 + supplement of angle x

so, the supplement of angle x is 26 degrees, so x is 154 degrees

Answer 2

mLx = 144

mLy=154

Explanation:

180-36=144

x=144

180-62=118

36+118=154

180-154=26

180-26=154

y=154
