Answer:
x = 30°
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The ∆ where you find x is an isosceles ∆ because two of its sides has a length of 40 each, since the other triangle has equal angles of 60° each, it also has equal length sides of 40.
Therefore, x is a base triangle of the isosceles, thus:
x = ½(180 - (180 - 60))
x = ½(180 - 120)
x = ½(60)
x = 30°
Let's find y.
8y = 40 (sides of an equilateral ∆ are equal)
Divide both sides by 8
y = 5
