Answer:

z = 180°

Explanation:

First, find the sum of the interior angles b using the following formula. S is sum and n is the number of sides.

S = (n-2)180

S = (6 - 2)180

S = (4)180

S = 720°

Next, make an equation adding all the interior angles and setting them equal to 720.

t + t + 2t + t + t + 2t = 720

8t = 720

8t/8 = 720/8

t = 90°

Finally, find the measure of angle z by substituting 90° for t.

z = 2t

z = 2(90)

z = 180°
