Answer:

x=45y=30

Explanation:

since its a triangle the corner have to be 75 each and the only way that the smaller circle sums to 180 is if X= 45 then 75-45=30

Answer:

x=45

y=30

Explanation:

We know that there are two isosceles triangles which means two of the angles in the triangle are equivalent. We can use this to first solve for x

180-90=2x (This is for the smaller triangle)

90=2x

x=45

Now we find the measure of the angle in the bigger triangle.

(180-30)/2=150/2=75

Since y+x=75

y=75-x

y=75-45

y=30
