Answer: I'm not the best at this but the answer that makes the most sense is B. 104+z=180

Step-by-step explanation: A triangle has 2 sides which are both 52 degrees. Add those to get 104 degrees. Now since a triangle has 3 sides we need to find the one other side so no answers with 2z match meaning the answer should be B.
