A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Let Q = the angle beside the angle measuring y°
Since all angles in a triangle add to 180°, we can write: x + y + Q + 70 = 180
Subtract 70 from both sides: x + y + Q = 110
Subtract Q from both sides: x + y = 110 - Q
Since angle Q has some POSITIVE value, we can conclude that x + y =
some number less than 110So, we get:
Quantity A:
some number less than 110Quantity B: 110
Answer: B
Cheers,
Brent
