[naive compass]

I’m confused

[hushed walrus]

I may be able to help, are you stuck on trying to find y?

[thin valley]

y would be 180-(30+60+25)=65

y=65°

[naive compass]

how did you get 180

[hushed walrus]

Yes @thin valley, (explanation)because you need to use something called vertical angles, where two angles of whose sides form opposite rays. So basically the 60 degree angle would correspond with the bottom left angle. Think of it as the line just had one original side then duplicated and turned 180 degrees, if you rotated the top 3 transversals 180 degrees, they would be congruent to the bottom angles. And as you know (I hope) one side of a line is equal to 180 degrees. Hence, (What @thin valley said) 180 - (60+30+25) = x

[thin valley]

180 is the angle of a straight line

[thin valley]

the parentheses youve added are a bit misleading

[hushed walrus]

ah yes thank you, thats a typo, sorry. lol

[naive compass]

I also need assistance for this

@thin valley

[thin valley]

angle QRS would be equal to angle QPT
all angles of a triangle add up to 180
angle QPT would be 180-(50+70)=60
angle QPT=QRS=60

Please follow the posting guidelines which you can find pinned atop the forums

Read #❓how-to-get-help if you haven't already

@thin valley you're not supposed to give them the answer

[thin valley]

oh

[quasi isle]

You should help them get the answer themselves

[thin valley]

sorry

[quasi isle]

Tis ok
