Math Problem Statement

Options are a 25, 65 B 60, 30 C 65, 25 D40, 50.

Solution

Let's re-examine the problem considering the provided options.

Step 1: Recall the key relationships

  • ABCDAB \parallel CD implies that corresponding angles and alternate interior angles can be used.
  • ACD=150\angle ACD = 150^\circ.
  • CAB=90\angle CAB = 90^\circ.

Step 2: Re-calculate angle xx

xx is the supplementary angle to 150150^\circ because ACD\angle ACD is on a straight line. Thus: x=180150=30x = 180^\circ - 150^\circ = 30^\circ

Step 3: Re-calculate angle yy

Using the triangle ABC\triangle ABC: CAB+ABC+BCA=180\angle CAB + \angle ABC + \angle BCA = 180^\circ Given that CAB=90\angle CAB = 90^\circ and x=30x = 30^\circ, then: 90+y+30=18090^\circ + y + 30^\circ = 180^\circ y=180120=60y = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ

Conclusion:

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

Therefore, the correct option is B) 60, 30.
