Question

given m || n, find the value of x and y. answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding - angles

Corresponding angles are equal when $m\parallel n$. The angle of $121^{\circ}$ and $y$ are corresponding angles, so $y = 121^{\circ}$.

Step2: Identify vertical - angles

Vertical angles are equal. The angle $y$ and $x$ are vertical angles. Since $y = 121^{\circ}$, then $x = 121^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$x = 121^{\circ}$, $y=121^{\circ}$
