Math Problem Statement

What is the value of y in this figure?

Solution

The figure in the image seems to show two intersecting lines with some angle measures labeled. Based on this type of figure, we can use the property that vertical angles are congruent. The angle labeled 163163^\circ and the angle labeled yy^\circ are vertical angles, so they are equal.

Thus, the value of yy is:

y=163y = 163^\circ

Here are some related questions:

  1. What are vertical angles, and why are they congruent?
  2. How do you find missing angles in intersecting lines?
  3. Can two lines intersect at an angle greater than 180180^\circ?
  4. How does the angle sum property apply to intersecting lines?
  5. What is the relationship between complementary and supplementary angles?

Tip: Remember that vertical angles always have equal measures, which makes solving many angle-related problems quicker.
