Answer:
x = 20°
y = 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
the angle adjacent to the 40° angle must be 140° because the two angles form a straight line (which contains 180°)
in the isosceles triangle with the 'x', that means the other two angles must be equal and are (180-140) ÷ 2, which equals 20°
to find 'y', consider the larger right triangle with angles of 90° and 20°; angle y must equal 180 - (90 + 20) = 70°
