In the diagram, the value of x + y = 220o. Find the value of n
20o
40o
60o
80o

Explanation

y + z = 180o

z = 180o - y

x + k = 180o

k = 180o - x

the sum of angles in the \(\bigtriangleup\) are: n + z + k = 180

but n + 180o - y + 180o - x = 180o

n + 180o - y - x = 0

but we want to find n

n + 180o = x + y

but x + y = 220o

n + 180o = 220o

n = 220o - 180o

n = 40o
