Answer:
Angle MBR = 31°
y = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a tiny red square in angle MBH that means it is a right angle. Right angles are 90°. So the 59° angle and the angle marked (y+17)° together make a 90° angle. That helps us write an equation.
59 + y + 17 = 90
add.
76 + y = 90
subtract 76.
y = 14
Then you can find Angle MBR:
y + 17
= 14 + 17
= 31
Alternatively, you could find MBR first and then find y. It comes out the same either way.
