Math Problem Statement

In the given figure, if AB is parallel to CD, then the values of X and Y, respectively, are.

Solution

Let's analyze the figure to determine the values of angles xx and yy.

Step 1: Analyze the given information

  • ABAB is parallel to CDCD.
  • CAB\angle CAB is a right angle (90°).
  • ACD=150\angle ACD = 150^\circ.
  • ABC=y\angle ABC = y and DBC=x\angle DBC = x.

Step 2: Calculate the angle xx

Given that ABCDAB \parallel CD, the angles CAB\angle CAB and ACD\angle ACD are supplementary angles. Therefore, we have: x=180150=30x = 180^\circ - 150^\circ = 30^\circ

Step 3: Calculate the angle yy

In the triangle ABCABC, the sum of the angles must be 180180^\circ. So, using the angles in ABC\triangle ABC: CAB+ABC+ACB=180\angle CAB + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ Substituting the values: 90+y+30=18090^\circ + y + 30^\circ = 180^\circ y=180120=60y = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ

Final Answer:

  • x=30x = 30^\circ
  • y=60y = 60^\circ
