Answer:

We know that the interior angles of any triangle equal 180. Therefore in the left triangle, C must equal 53 in order for the interior angles to equal 180° (65+62+53)

Since these triangles are equal they are congruent. Congruent triangles share the same angles. Therefore C is equal to G. If c is 53 then m<G is also 53. x=53

Additionally, the side lengths of congruent triangles are equal. Therefore 11 is equal to x-y

x is 53 so 53-y=11

-y=-42

y=42

x=53
