Sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degrees. the last unknown angle in the triangle = 180 - 43 - 22= 115 degrees Sum of angles on a line = 180 degrees angle y = 180 - 115 = 65 degrees.

Okay note that the triangle has 3 angles in it. Know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees in total. |dw:1339639324451:dw| So 180 - 43 - 22 = 115. This is the value of the 3rd angle in the triangle. This 115 degrees angle is lying on a straight line together with angle y, the one you are finding.

|dw:1339639412353:dw| The sum of 115 and angle y is equal to 180 degrees. So subtracting 115 from 180, you will get 65 degrees. The value for angle y.
