Answer:
Hello!
Judging by the link you provided I have come up with the correct solution:
x= 61°
y= 29°
Explanation:
I will link my work below:
The first step to finding the two solutions it to first identify one of them.
I chose to identify x first.
To identify the value of x in this problem you have to notice that the x value corresponds with the value "29°" to form a perfect right angle, being 90°.
Thus you can simply find the value of x by doing this formula:
x+29°=90°
You then subtract 29° from both sides to simplify, and you come up with the solution
x=61°
Now we need to find the value of y.
To find the value of y I noticed that again, like x, y corresponds with another variable (being x) to form a perfect right angle (90°).
The way I realized this is a perfect right angle is because, as you can see in the picture you provided, the y+x angle are alternate exterior angles with another angle that is 90°.
Thus you can assume that:
x+y=90°
x= 61°
61°+y=90°
You then subtract 61° from both sides to get:
y=29°
