Question

3.

Two overlapping triangles have the angle
measures shown.
15°
X=
10
Jo
40°
What are the values of x, y, and z?
____________, Z=_
_y=
43°
52⁰

Answer 1

x = 73, y = 88, z = 45

Explanation:

40+52+y = 180 (Angle Sum Property)

=> y = 180-40-52

=> y = 88

x + (15 + 40) + 52 = 180 (Angle Sum Property)

=>x = 180 - 52 - 55

=> x = 73

40 + 43 + (52+z) = 180

=> z = 180 -53 - 40 -43

=> z = 45
