Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In the diagram above, x1 = 50(angles in alternate segment)
x1 = x2(base angles of isos. \(\Delta\))
< UXY + x2 + 50o = 180o(sum of angles on a straight line)
< UXY + 50o + 50o = 180p
< UXY + 100o = 180o
< UXY = 180o - 100o
= 80o
In the diagram above, x1 = 50(angles in alternate segment)
x1 = x2(base angles of isos. \(\Delta\))
< UXY + x2 + 50o = 180o(sum of angles on a straight line)
< UXY + 50o + 50o = 180p
< UXY + 100o = 180o
< UXY = 180o - 100o
= 80o
