Answer:
x = 35° , y = 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
145° is an exterior angle of the triangle , then
y + 55° = 145° ( subtract 55° from both sides )
y = 90°
the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then
x + y + 55° = 180°
x + 90° + 55° = 180°
x + 145° = 180° ( subtract 145° from both sides )
x = 35°
