What is the value of x and y? Question 6 options: x = 40 , y = 40 x = 8, y = 20 x = 8 , y = 40 x = 40, y = 20

the triangle is isosceles triangle. so, the two angles of the same side are equal.

(5x)°=40°

x = 40/5

x = 8

40° +40°+(2y+20)°=180°

80 + 2y +20 =180°

100° +2y =180°

180°-100°=2y

80° = 2y

80°/2= y

40 = y

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
