Given that m/_a=40 and m/_b=61 find that the measure of angles x and y

Given That Ma40 And Mb61 Find That The Measure Of Angles X And Y class=

Sagot :

Answer:
y = 140, x = 159
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle y:
we can find this angle by subtracting 40 from 180, 180-40 = 140 = y
Angle x:
Some measure of an angle plus angle b is equal to 180 degrees: 180-61 = 119
We can now find the measure of the third angle of the triangle: 180-(119+40) = 21
The third angle plus angle x is equal to 180: 180-21 = 159 = x

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:y + a = 180[/tex]

( linear pair )

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:y + 40 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:y = 180 - 40[/tex]

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:y = 140 \degree[/tex]

And

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x = a +( 180 - b)[/tex]

( Exterior angle = sum of opposite interior angles )

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x = 40 + (180 - 61)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x = 40 + 119[/tex]

[tex]\qquad❖ \: \sf \:159 \degree[/tex]

  • x = 159°

  • y = 140°
