Question

10. Find the values of the angles x, y, and z.

Possible Answers are:


A: x = 80°; y = 140°; z = 20°


B: x = 70°; y = 130°; z = 30°


C: x = 80°; y = 50°; z = 110°


D: x = 100°; y= 140°; z = 40°


Please explain the correct answer if you do not explain I will report you and remove your answer taking away the possible points you redeemed. But can you at least give me a minor explanation?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

To find x:

All of a triangles sides are equal to 180°.

60+40=100

180-100=80

x=80°

To find y:

All angles on the same side of a line equal to 180°.

180-40=140

y=140°

To find z:

20+140=160

180-160= 20

z= 20°

Answer 2

D, because 180-60-40=100

All triangle's add up to 180
