Answer:

x = 33°

Explanation:

The value of an inscribed angle is half the value of the arc it subtends.

The angle marked x subtends the arc marked 66°, so has a value of ...

x = 66°/2

x = 33°

_____

The value of y is similarly found.

y = 96°/2

y = 48°

__

The angle marked with a dot is an external angle of the triangle, so is the sum of the remote internal angles, x and y:

dot angle = x + y = 33° +48° = 81°

Of course, angle z is the supplement of this:

z = 180° -81°

z = 99°
