Question

6. Find the values of x and y.
Drawing not to scale

Answer 1

y = 31 °
x = 90 °




∠B = ∠C = 59 °

∠A = 180 ° - 59 ° - 59 ° = 62 °

∠A is divided into 2 parts (y° and another point):
= 62 ° ÷ 2

= 31 °


y = 31 °


x = 180 ° - 31 ° - 59 °

x = 90°

Answer 2

y=31°

x=90

step

y=180-59-90

=31

x=90
