The first triangle is an Isosceles triangle:

2 equal sides

2 equal angles ( opposite to the sides)

The sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°

So, for the left triangle:

51+x+x2 = 180

x+x2 = 180-51

x+x2 = 129

Since both angles are equal:

129/2 = 64.5°

x= 64.5°

x+y = 90°

64.5 + y = 90

y= 90-64.5

y= 25.5°

Right triangle:

25.5+25.5 +z = 180

z= 180-25.5-25.5

z= 129°
