Answer:

x° = 45°

y° = 90°

z° = 45°

Explanation:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180°

⇒ z° + 135° = 180°

⇒ z° = 180° - 135°

⇒ z° = 45°

The dashes on the side lengths mean that the sides are of equal length. Therefore this is an isosceles triangle. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

⇒ x° = z°

⇒ x° = 45°

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

⇒ x° + y° + z° = 180°

⇒ 45° + y° + 45° = 180°

⇒ y° = 180° - 45° - 45°

⇒ y° = 90°
