Answer:

m = 58°

x = 64°

Explanation:

When a puck touches one side of the air hockey table,

All the angles formed are located at a point on a straight line.

Therefore, sum of angles formed is 180°.

m° + m° + 64° = 180°

2m + 64 = 180

2m = 180 - 64

2m = 116

m = 58°

m∠y = m = 58° [Alternate interior angles]

Similarly, on the other side of the table,

58° + y° + x° = 180°

58° + 58° + x° = 180°

x + 116° = 180°

x = 180 - 116

x = 64°
