Answer:

Supplementary to x is a 90° angle (right angle) which means that both x and the right angle will have to equal 180 degrees:

90 + x = 180

-90 -90

x = 90°

Let's find the angle measure that is supplementary to y.

A 5 sided shape is equal to 540 degrees (you could find this by using the formula: (n - 2) x 180 where n is the number of sides)

so given interior angles:

90 + 80 + 98(supplementary to angle 82 degrees) + 136 + 136(two equal angle measures in the polygon that are missing)

= 540(which is correct), so now we know the two missing angles, 136, besides the angle supplementary to 82 degrees.

136 is supplementary to y so:

136 + y = 180

-136 -136

y = 44°
