Question 104118: Find the values of x and y in the figure below.
This is a description of what the figure looks like:
it is a right trapezoid. There are four measurements. The first measurement is located in top left corner of the trapezoid and it is x degrees. The second measure is located in the top right corner and it is y degrees. The third measure is located in the bottom right corner and it is 74 degrees. The last measure is in the bottom left corner and it is the right angle sign so it is 90 degrees. These angles are all on the inside corners of the trapezoid.
Please help me find x and y.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

angle 1 and angle 3, added together = 180
angle 2 and angle 4 = 180
so;
x+74=180
y+90=180
-------------
x+74 = 180
x=106
------------
y+90=180
y=90
--------
I hope I am picturing it correctly, if so these are the answers
