anybody good at geometry? Three aircrafts are flying at different altitudes along parallel paths, as shown.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the measure of x and y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WELL!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=100 because the lines are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i find x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and y+x=180 because it is a flat line which equals 180 always

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 100+x=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now subtract 100 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the answer is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i see what you did!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= 80 y=100 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
