Given:

  • Exterior angle= 123°

To find:

The value of "x" and "y".

Solution:

Let's solve "x" first.

Given is a supplementary angle so it should add up to 180°


x=180-123


\large\boxed{x=57°}

Now, we can solve "y"

Given is an isosceles triangle so the opposite sides will be equal.


57+57


114°

Angle sum of triangle is 180° so, it should add up to 180°


y=180-114


\large\boxed{y=66°}

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
