Question

Find the values of x and y

Answer 1

x = 11

y = 70°

Explanation:

x + 2 = 13

The lines on each side are corresponding.

11 + 2 = 13

Y is corresponding with the 70° corner.

That means the corresponding corner (y) is also 70°.

Answer 2

y = 70 degrees

x = 11

Explanation:

The side opposite x + 2 is equivalent so they will both be equal to 13.

To get the meaning of x, simply subtract 2 from 13 giving you x = 11.

Y is across from corner C, which is 70 degrees. These angles are equivalent to each other, meaning that angle y is also 70 degrees.

Hope this helps you :)
