Angles on a straight line are 180. Therefore, 180 - 90 (right angle) = 90

Angles in a triange add to 180.

90 + 48 = 138

180 - 138 = 42

y = 42

—————— (not sure if you need this, but:)

To work out x, you would do:

Angles on a straight line add to 180.

180 - 48 = 132

132/2 = 66

x = 66

To work out z:

Angles in a triangle add to 180. You know x is 66, so

66 + 90 (right angle) = 156

180 - 156 = 24

z = 24

y = 42°

Because the angle at the side of right angle will also be right angle or 90°

Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°.

So, 48° + 90° + y = 180°

=> 138° + y = 180°

=> y = 180° - 138°

=> y = 42°
