Using Two Congruent Triangles to Find the Value of X and Y

The video tutorial explains how to determine the value of the variable Y in congruent triangles. It begins with identifying congruent triangles and setting up the problem by recognizing angles and side lengths involving Y. The instructor then demonstrates solving the equation using the sum of angles in a triangle and properties of vertical angles. Finally, the solution is applied to find the value of Y, with a brief discussion on how to use this value to determine other measurements if needed.
