In the diagram below, the top of each stair is parallel to the floor. what is the value of y?

The value of y would be C) 38 degrees because if the floor and the top of the stair are parallel, then that makes the diagonal line a transversal, therefore the 38 degree angle and y are alternate interior angles.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
