Question

Find the values of x and y

Answer 1

X=20

Y=70

Explanation:

All angles within a triangle add up to 180

180 - 40 = 140

140 is the top angle of the big triangle

140 + x + x = 180

x = 20

Now use x to find y by subtracting from the right angle (90 degrees)

90 - 20 = 70

70 + 40 + y = 180

Y = 70
