To find the values of $x$ and $y$ in the given triangle:

1. The triangle contains the following:
   • An exterior angle of $x$,
   • Two interior angles labeled $60^\circ$ and $61^\circ$.

Solution:

1. Exterior Angle Theorem: The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. $x = 60^\circ + 61^\circ = 121^\circ$

2. Sum of Angles in a Triangle: The sum of the angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$. The unknown angle $y$ can be found as: $y = 180^\circ - (60^\circ + 61^\circ) = 59^\circ$

Final Values:

• $x = 121^\circ$
• $y = 59^\circ$
