Answer 1

Find the sum of x and y.

A.
14
B.
30
C.
50
D.
104

Answer 2

I'd be happy to help, with your involvement. What have you thought of doing first? Hint: How many right angles are there in this figure? What would the sum of 90 degrees and 6y be? Hope these questions help you get started.

Answer 3

14 @mathmale

Answer 4

How did you obtain that? I'd like to see your work.

Answer 5

addin

Answer 6

How did you find the value of y?

Answer 7

wait is 5*6=30

Answer 8

Roberto, please answer my questions. How did you find the value of y?

Answer 9

I multiplied 5 times 6 and it equals 30

Answer 10

How many right angles are there in this figure? What would the sum of 90 degrees and 6y be? Hope these questions help you get started.

Answer 11

there two 6y and two 90 degrees @mathmale

Answer 12

There are only two right angles. Which of the four interior angles of this figure are right angles? Add the measures of these two right angles together.

Answer 13

so the answer its not 30 or 14? right

Answer 14

Since a "right angle" is a 90 degree angle, the sum of two right angles comes out to how many degrees? Once you have that correct, you can find y.

Answer 15

I will gladly help you find the correct answer yourself, but want to see how you get that answer.

Answer 16

Add:

90
+90
-----

Answer 17

180

Answer 18

Fine. Now there are TWO right angles in your figure. one of them is 90 degrees. Which of the other three angles is ALSO a right angle, measuring 90 degrees?

Answer 19

6y

Answer 20

Very good. So, 6y=90. What is the measure of y?

Answer 21

You correctly told me that 6y represents a right angle. Bravo! Therefore, 6y=90 (degrees). Divide both sides by 6, please, to obtain the value of y.
