Question

What is the value of x and y? Show all work.

Answer 1

x = 90 degree

y = 43 degree

Explanation:

x is at the right angle, so it must be 90 degrees.

A triangle has a total of 180 degrees.

We know two angles, one is 90 degrees and one is 47 degrees

90 + 47 = 137 degrees

180 - 137 = 43 degrees

So, y = 43 degrees
