Answer:

  • x° = 81°
  • y° = 99°
  • z° = 129°

Explanation:

I find it easiest to start with y. That way, computing x involves only one math operation instead of two.

b. y° is the sum of opposite interior angles.

y° = 48° + 51° = 99°

__

a. x° is the supplement of y°.

x° = 180° -99° = 81°

__

c. z° is the supplement of 51°. It is also the sum of the opposite interior angles.

z° = 180° -51° = 129°

z° = 48° +81° = 129°
