Answer:
Explanation:
You want to know the values of x and y in the given figure.
Equilateral triangle
The left-side triangle has angles marked as congruent. Hence it is an equilateral triangle, which also has congruent sides.
8y = 40
y = 40/8 = 5
Isosceles triangle
The angle at the middle of the longest line is supplementary to the adjacent angle in the equilateral triangle, hence is 120°.
The marked side length of 40 and the equilateral triangle side length of 40 mean the triangle on the right is an isosceles triangle with an a.pex angle of 120°. Its congruent base angles (x°) must be (180° -120°)/2 = 30°.
x° = 30°
The values of x and y are 30 and 5, respectively.
