Answers:

  • x = 60
  • y = 70

============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel lines show that x = 60 since the 60 and the x angles are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

Focusing on the largest triangle, the three angles add to 180 degrees

x+y+50 = 180

60+y+50 = 180

y+110 = 180

y = 180-110

y = 70

This triangle appears to be equilateral, but it's not entirely so (it's fairly close however). That 50 degree angle in the bottom right corner would need to be 60 degrees for it to be equilateral.
