Hello! Could someone please help explain how to solve this to me please and an answer would be nice! Thanks! :)

Answer 1

if we notice the tickmarks on the triangle, we can see the all sides are equal, namely is an equilateral triangle, and if all sides are equal, then all interior angles are equal as well.

Let's recall that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°, now if we divide that by 3, that gives us 60, namely each angle in the equilateral triangle is 60°, that means

`10x=60\implies x=\cfrac{60}{10}\implies \boxed{x=6} ~\hfill 12y=60\implies y=\cfrac{60}{12}\implies \boxed{y=5}`
