Let's analyze the problem you've uploaded.

From the information in the image:

• The triangle ACE is isosceles, meaning two sides are equal.
• The angle at vertex A is 46°.
• There are two unknown angles, x and y, and the goal is to solve for these.

We'll approach this step by step:

Step 1: Use the properties of the isosceles triangle

Since triangle ACE is isosceles, the two base angles must be equal. The angle at vertex A is 46°, and the other two angles, at C and E, must be equal. Let's call them angle C and angle E.

• The sum of angles in any triangle is 180°. Therefore, in triangle ACE: $\text{Angle at A} + \text{Angle at C} + \text{Angle at E} = 180°$ $46° + 2 \times \text{Angle at C} = 180°$ Solving for angle C: $2 \times \text{Angle at C} = 180° - 46° = 134°$ $\text{Angle at C} = \frac{134°}{2} = 67°$ So, the angle at C and the angle at E are both 67°.

Step 2: Work with the parallel lines

AB is parallel to CD, so corresponding angles must be equal. The angle labeled 110° (on the line CD) corresponds with angle x on the other side. Therefore: $x = 110°$

Step 3: Use supplementary angles

Since angle x and angle y form a straight line, they must sum to 180° (because adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary): $x + y = 180°$ $110° + y = 180°$ Solving for y: $y = 180° - 110° = 70°$

Final answers:

• $x = 110°$
• $y = 70°$
