Answer
We know that,
Sum of adjacent co-interior angles of a trapezium = 180° (As AB || DC)
∴ ∠A + ∠D = 180°
⇒ (x + 25)° + (2x + 5)° = 180°
⇒ 3x° + 30° = 180°
⇒ 3x° = 180° - 30°
⇒ 3x° = 150°
⇒ x° = 50°
⇒ x = 50.
Sum of adjacent co-interior angles of a trapezium = 180° (As AB || DC)
∴ ∠C + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 95° + y° = 180°
⇒ y° = 180° - 95°
⇒ y° = 85°
⇒ y = 85.
Hence, x = 50, y = 85.
