QuestionFind the values of xx and yy.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The problem involves intersecting lines, creating vertical angles and supplementary angles.
2. Vertical angles are congruent, meaning they are equal in measure.
3. Adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines add up to 180180^\circ because they are supplementary.

STEP 2

1. Use the property of vertical angles to find the measure of yy.
2. Use the property of supplementary angles to find the measure of xx.

STEP 3

Identify that the angle labeled 4444^\circ and the angle labeled yy^\circ are vertical angles.
y=44 y^\circ = 44^\circ

STEP 4

Recognize that xx^\circ and 4444^\circ are adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines, and therefore, they are supplementary.
x+44=180 x^\circ + 44^\circ = 180^\circ

STEP 5

Solve for xx by subtracting 4444^\circ from 180180^\circ.
x=18044 x = 180^\circ - 44^\circ x=136 x = 136^\circ

STEP 6

Summarize the values found for xx and yy.
x=136andy=44 x = 136^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad y = 44^\circ
