Answer: x = 80°, y = 50°

Explanation:

We have an isosceles triangle.

As you can see, 130° lies on a straight line. A straight line = 180°.

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. This means 180° - 130° = y.

So, y = 50°.

The total measures of any triangle is 180 degrees.

The total measure for the base angles here 100 degrees. That is, 50° + 50° =

100°.

How do we find x?

x = 180° - 100

x = 80°
