a. x = 12, y = 84, z = 20
b. x = 6, y = 174, z = 20
c. X= 6, y = 84, z = 10
d. x = 12, y = 174, z = 10

Answer 1

For the M1 angle, we can conclude the size of angle is 90°. Do the angle equation like this :

15x=90

x = 90/15

x = 6

Do the same thing in M2 :

Subtitute the x value to equation, then evaluate the value by using 90 because it's the same.

x+y=90

6+y=90

y=90-6

y=84

M3 value is same, 90°

9z=90

9z/9 = 90/9

z=10

Hope this helps
