Answer:
a) BXC and CXD b) AXB and BXD c) x = 25; y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Because BXD is a right angle, that makes its measure 90 degrees.
That means that any 2 angles contained in it are complementary.
That makes BXC and CXD complementary.
b) AXD is a line, making its angles add up to 180.
That means that any 2 angles contained in it are supplementary.
That makes AXB and BXD supplementary.
c) AXD is a line, making AXB, BXC and CXD add up to 180.
That means that 5y + 2x + 40 = 180
Because BXD is a right angle, that makes its measure 90 degrees.
That means 2x + 40 = 90 --> 2x = 50 --> x = 25
Plug that into the first equation ( 5y + 2x + 40 = 180).
5y + 2(25) + 40 = 180 --> 5y = 90 --> y = 18
