Answer 1

x = 16 and y = 116

Explanation

For the trapezoid, the sum of the adjacent side is 180. Hence;

6x+20 + 4x = 180

10x + 20 = 180

10x = 180-20

10x = 160

x = 160/10

x = 16

Also, the sum of opposite side is 180, hence;

4(16)+ y = 180

64 + y = 180

y = 180 - 64

y = 116 degrees

hence x = 16 and y = 116
