In the diagram, if △ABC and △PQR are equilateral, then what is the measure of
∠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 △ABC and △PQR are equilateral, then ∠ABC=∠ACB=∠RPQ=60∘.
Therefore, ∠YBP=180∘−65∘−60∘=55∘ and ∠YPB=180∘−75∘−60∘=45∘ .
In △BYP, we have ∠BYP=180∘−∠YBP−∠YPB=180∘−55∘−45∘=80∘.
Since ∠XYC=∠BYP , then ∠XYC=80∘.
In △CXY, we have ∠CXY=180∘−60∘−80∘=40∘.
So our final answer is 40 degrees.
