what is x and y

What is x and y?

Solution

This image shows a quadrilateral with two known interior angles, 100100^\circ and 105105^\circ, and two unknown angles labeled xx and yy. To find the values of xx and yy, we can use the property that the sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360360^\circ.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. The sum of all interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360360^\circ.

    So, x+100+y+105=360x + 100^\circ + y + 105^\circ = 360^\circ

  2. Simplify the equation: x+y+205=360x + y + 205^\circ = 360^\circ

  3. Subtract 205205^\circ from both sides: x+y=155x + y = 155^\circ

  4. Since we don't have additional information to determine xx and yy individually, we can only conclude that: x+y=155x + y = 155^\circ

To determine the exact values of xx and yy, more information about the relationship between xx and yy would be required (e.g., if it’s a trapezoid with parallel sides, or if any sides are equal).
