Question

find the measure of the missing angles. answer attempt 1 out of 2 x = o y = o

Explanation:

Step1: Use right - angle property

Since the angle formed by the vertical and horizontal lines is a right - angle (90°), and one part of it is 36°. So, $x = 90^{\circ}-36^{\circ}$.
$x = 54^{\circ}$

Step2: Use straight - angle property

The horizontal line forms a straight - angle (180°). We know one part is 90° and another part is $x = 54^{\circ}$. So, $y=180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-54^{\circ}$.
$y = 36^{\circ}$

Answer:

$x = 54$
$y = 36$
