In triangle XYZ the measure of angle X equals 34 degrees and the measure of angle Z equals 38 degrees find the measure of angle y
To find the measure of angle Y in triangle XYZ, you can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let's call the measure of angle Y as "y".
Given that the measure of angle X is 34 degrees and the measure of angle Z is 38 degrees, we have:
X + Y + Z = 180
Substituting the known values:
34 + Y + 38 = 180
Combining like terms:
Y + 72 = 180
To isolate Y, we subtract 72 from both sides:
Y = 180 - 72
Y = 108
Therefore, the measure of angle Y in triangle XYZ is 108 degrees.
