Answer:

y = 35°

z = 90°

Explanation:

the angle labeled as 35° and the angle labeled as 'y' are alternate-interior angles and are congruent

therefore, y = 35°

the third angle of the triangle on the left is 180-(90+35) = 55

therefore, this angle is vertical with the angle opposite it which is also 55°

to find 'z', you can add the two known angles of 55 and 35 and subtract the sum from 180 to get 90°
