Question

25°
У
x 120°
y = [ ? ]
Enter

Answer 1

95 degrees

you do 180-120 and get 60 and then add 60 and 25 together and that is 85. then u do 180-85 and get 95

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = 95°

  x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable theorem is the one that says the exterior angle (120°) is the sum of the remote interior angles:

  120° = 25° +y

  95° = y . . . . . . . . . . subtract 25° from both sides

_____

If you like, you can get there by calculating x (or not):

  x = 180° -120°

  y = 180° -25° -x = 180° -25° -(180° -120°)

  y = 120° -25° . . . . . simplify — notice we didn't actually have to compute x
