Let's take this problem step-by-step:
Both problems involve triangles:
⇒ let's find out the sum of the interior angle w/ formula 180(n-2)
Total Interior Angle Sum of Triangle = 180(3-2) = 180
Let's solve the first problem (A)
⇒ we know the total interior angle sum is 180 degrees
⇒ we know that two of the angles are 30 degrees and 90 degrees
* any angle with a square on them is 90 degrees
⇒ therefore:
30 + 90 + y = 180
120 + y= 180
y = 60
Let's solve the second problem:
⇒ the angle opposite the exterior angle, 120 degrees, is on a flat line
with it
⇒ therefore it is 60 degrees
⇒ two angles on a flat line equal 180 degrees
⇒ two angles are therefore 60 degrees
⇒ therefore:
60 + 60 + y = 180
120 + y = 180
y = 60
