Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Find the value of xx.

    The angle xx and the 92∘92^\circ angle are vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal.

    x=92∘x = 92^\circ

    The value of xx is \boxed{\text{92^\circ}}.

  2. Find the value of yy.

    The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two opposite interior angles. In this triangle, the exterior angle is 92∘92^\circ, and the two opposite interior angles are 74∘74^\circ and yy.

    92∘=74∘+y92^\circ = 74^\circ + y

    Subtract 74∘74^\circ from both sides:

    y=92∘−74∘y = 92^\circ - 74^\circ y=18∘y = 18^\circ

    The value of yy is \boxed{\text{18^\circ}}.
