Answer:

x = 50

y= 70

z = 60

w = 70

Explanation:

If the two triangles are similar, the angles are equal

A = A1

B = B1

C = C1

We can tell from the diagram

A=60 so A1 = z = 60

B1 = 50 so B = x = 50

The angles of a triangle sum to 180

A + B+ C = 180

60+ 50 + y = 180

110 + y =180

Subtract 110 from each side

y = 180-110

y = 70

C = y = 70

We know that C = C1 = w = 70
