Question

What are the values of x and y?

Answer 1

`x=70^o`

`y=110^o`

Explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary

In this problem the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

so

`x=70^o` -----> by opposite angles in a parallelogram

`x+y=180^o` ---> by consecutive angles in a parallelogram

substitute the value of x

`70^o+y=180^o`

`y=180^o-70^o=110^o`
