Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Find the value of x

Since the angle with measure $31^{\circ}$ and $x$ are complementary (they form a right - angle, $90^{\circ}$), we use the formula $x = 90^{\circ}-31^{\circ}$.
$x=90 - 31=59^{\circ}$

Step2: Find the value of y

The angle $y$ and the $31^{\circ}$ angle are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal. So $y = 31^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$x = 59$
$y = 31$
