Given:

Given that the angles of the kite.

The opposite angles of the kite measures (3y + 14)° and (y + 50)°

We need to determine the value of y.

Value of y:

We know the property that the opposite angles are equal.

Thus, applying the property, we have;


3y+14=y+50

Subtracting both sides of the equation by y, we have;


2y+14=50

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 14, we get;


2y=36

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get;


y=18

Thus, the value of y is 18.
