The sum angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

In the first triangle where we have 36 degrees and 63 degrees

we have three angles

36 degrees , 63 degrees and x degrees

x + 36 + 63 = 180

x + 99 = 180

isolate x

x = 180 - 99

x = 81 degrees

to calculate z

interior altenate angles are equal

36 degrees is alternate to angle z

Therefore 36 degrees = z

z = 36 degrees

to get y

y + 36 + 13 = 180

y + 49 = 180

y = 180 - 49

y = 131 degrees
