What is the value for y?

What is the value of x?



Enter your answer in the box.

x =

Equiangular triangle A B C. Angles A, B, and C are marked congruent. The length of side A C is labeled as 5 x minus 22. The length of side A B is labeled as 4 x minus 10. The length of side B C is labeled as 3 x plus 2.

Enter your answer in the box.

y =

An isosceles triangle A B C with horizontal base B C and vertex A is above the base. Side A C and C B are labeled with single tick mark. All the three angles are labeled. Base angles C A B is labeled as 50 degrees and angle C B A is labeled as 2x degrees. The angle A C B is labeled left parenthesis 5 y plus 10 right parenthesis degrees.

Answer 1

1. The value of x in the equilateral triangle is: 12

2. x = 25; y = 14

What is an Equilateral Triangle?

If a triangle has three sides that are marked congruent, then the triangle is an equilateral triangle.

1. Since triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle and its sides are equal, therefore:

5x - 22 = 3x + 2 [congruent sides]

Solve for x

5x - 3x = 22 + 2

2x = 24

2x/2 = 24/2

x = 12

The value of x is: 12.

2. Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent, therefore:

2x = 50

x = 50/2

x = 25

Thus, using the triangle sum theorem, we have:

2x + 50 + 5y + 10 = 180

Plug in the value of x and find y

2(25) + 50 + 5y + 10 = 180

50 + 50 + 5y + 10 = 180

110 + 5y = 180

5y = 180 - 110

5y = 70

y = 70/5

y = 14
