In the diagram, if \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle PQR\) are equilateral, then what is the measure of
\(\angle CXY\) in degrees?

Angle YBP = 180 - 65 - 60 = 55°
Angle BYP = 180 - 75 - 60 = 45°
So
Angle BYP = 180 - 55 - 45 = 80°
And Angle CYX is a vertical angle to BYP ....so it = 80°
So.... CXY = 180 - 60 - 80 = 40°
Glad it helped , Tertre......waiting to see what the answer is to your red/white ball question to see if I got it correct!
Let's see if I can solve this:
Since \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle PQR\) are equilateral, then \(\angle ABC=\angle ACB=\angle RPQ=60^\circ\).
Therefore, \(\angle YBP = 180^\circ-65^\circ-60^\circ=55^\circ\) and \(\angle YPB = 180^\circ-75^\circ-60^\circ=45^\circ\) .
In \(\triangle BYP\), we have \(\angle BYP = 180^\circ - \angle YBP - \angle YPB = 180^\circ - 55^\circ-45^\circ=80^\circ\).
Since \(\angle XYC = \angle BYP\) , then \(\angle XYC=80^\circ\).
In \(\triangle CXY\), we have \(\angle CXY = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 80^\circ = 40^\circ\).
So our final answer is \(\boxed{40}\) degrees.
