In the diagram below, BD is parallel to XY. What is the value of y?

Answer:
(B)[tex]y^{\circ}=110^{\circ}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In the diagram, BD is parallel to XY.
To find: The value of y.
Solution:
We know that when the lines are parallel, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, therefore using this property, we have
[tex]y^{\circ}+70^{\circ}=180^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]y^{\circ}=180^{\circ}-70^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]y^{\circ}=110^{\circ}[/tex]
Thus, the value of y is [tex]y^{\circ}=110^{\circ}[/tex].
Hence, option (B) is correct.
