Question

Find the value of x and y.

Answer 1

You know that one of them is 47 degrees, which corresponds to the x on the other triangle, so it must be the same measure. Every triangle measures 180 degrees, so the sum of x and y has to equal 180. Can you guess how you'll find the y?

Answer 2

I have no Idea how to find it @jcari

Answer 3

47 degrees in the triangle to the right is in the same position as x in the left triangle, so x = 47. Now you have one of the angle measures. If a triangle is equal to 180 degrees, you can use 180 to subtract 47 from, to get the measure of y. So y would be 180-47 = 133
Hope that helps.

Answer 4

yes that does help , and thanks for explaining it that helped me

Answer 5

You're welcome : )

Answer 6

the first 2 angles equal 180, what is the rest ? @jcari

Answer 7

@RadEn What other parts are you looking at?

Answer 8

you said x = 47 and y = 133, right ?
