The sails of two boats are pictured below. What is the value of y?

C 70

Step-by-step explanation:

since 2 sides are parallel to each other, so is then the third side, and their these are similar triangles. that means all angles of one triangle are the same in the other.

remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

so, we know 2 angles. one is 90 degrees, x is 20 degrees, therefore

y = 180 - 90 - 20 = 70

e.

step-by-step explanation:

because there are always 10 numbers in a phone number.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
