Answer:

z = 6

Explanation:

The angle in the middle is a right angle with a measure of 90°

Together, all three angles, makes a stright angle which is measured 180°.

So we can write the following equation to find the value of z:

5z + 1 + 59 = 90 (we don'thave to include the middle angle since we already its measure)

add like terms

5z + 60 = 90 subtract 60 from both sides

5z = 30 divide both sides by 5

z = 6
