Question

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.

Find the value of x and the value of y

Answer 1

135° and 45° respectively

Explanation:

x + y = 180° (angles on a straight line)

x = 3y (corresponding angles)

3y + y = 180°

4y = 180°

y = 180/4

y = 45°

x = 180 - y

x = 180 - 45

x = 135°
