three triangles are shown x represents the measure of the angle,y represents the measurement of its supplements, and a and v represent the measures of the other 2 angles. which of the following statements is true for all these statements?A- x > y because a + b > yB-y > x because 180 - x > a + bC- x = (a + b) -180D-y = 180 - ( a + b)

Answer:

None of the statements is true for all the three angles at the same time

Explanations:

Note:

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degrees

Sum of angles on a straight line = 180 degrees

In the first triangle:

a + b + y = 180 (Sum of

x + y = 180 (Sum of

x = a + b (Sum of two opposite interior

For the second triangle:

a + b + x = 180 (Sum of

x + y = 180 (Sum of

y = a + b (Sum of two opposite interior

For the third triangle:

a + b + x = 180 (Sum of

x + y = 180 (Sum of

y = a + b (Sum of two opposite interior
