Question

If x = 2z and y = 3z, find z

Answer 1

Answer:36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let name the missing angle in the triangle w.

We know that x+z+w=180

We also know that z+w=3z=y.

That means that w=2z.

x=2z, so, 2z+2z+z=180

z=36

Answer 2

Z=36 degrees

Explanation:

Since angles x and y are supplementary, you know that they add up to 180 degrees.

Since we know that:

=x+y

=2z+3z

=5z

=180 degrees

180/5=36 degrees, so Z=36 degrees
