There are two ways , so the first part reference to method 1 and and second part reference to method 2.


\\

PART 1 :-


\\ \\


\tt In~\triangle ABC:


\\


\tt \angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180 {}^( \circ)

{sum of triangle}


\\ \\

here we can find value of angle C.


\\


\dashrightarrow \sf\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf112 + 48 + \angle C = 180 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf160 + \angle C = 180 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf\angle C = 180 {}^( \circ) - 160 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf\angle C =20^( \circ) \\


\\ \\

angle c is congruent to angle f

.°. y = 20°


\\ \\

PART 2:-


\\ \\

angle a = angle d

.°. value of x = 112°


\\ \\


\tt \angle E + \angle D + \angle F = 180 {}^( \circ)


\\ \\

ve can find value of y :-


\\


\dashrightarrow \sf x + 48 + y= 180 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf112 + 48 +y = 180 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf160+y= 180 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \sf y= 180 {}^( \circ) - 160 {}^( \circ) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow \bf y=20^( \circ) \\
