Math Problem Statement

Find the values of x and y for the geometry problems shown in the image (Exercises 25-28).

Solution

Let’s solve the exercises one by one from the image. The problems involve finding the values of xx and yy, using the principles of geometry, such as the properties of triangles and angles.


Exercise 25:

This triangle has:

  • An angle labeled xx^\circ,
  • Another angle of 5050^\circ,
  • The third angle labeled yy^\circ.

Using the triangle angle sum property: x+50+y=180x + 50 + y = 180 Solve for x+yx + y: x+y=18050=130x + y = 180 - 50 = 130

Thus, x+y=130x + y = 130^\circ. Further details might depend on the specific context of the problem.


Exercise 26:

This exercise involves an intersecting pair of triangles:

  • xx^\circ and yy^\circ are opposite angles with one given as 125125^\circ.

By the property of vertically opposite angles: x=125x = 125^\circ

The triangles also suggest isosceles properties where adjacent pairs of angles (labeled yy) are congruent. Solve accordingly.


Exercise 27:

This triangle has:

  • Two base angles of 2525^\circ,
  • A vertex angle labeled xx^\circ and yy^\circ.

Using the triangle angle sum property: x+25+25=180x + 25 + 25 = 180 Solve for xx: x=18050=130x = 180 - 50 = 130^\circ


Exercise 28:

This is an isosceles triangle:

  • Two equal sides marked, one base labeled 77,
  • Angles labeled xx^\circ and yy^\circ.

Use the triangle properties to find xx and yy.
