Answer:

(ii) (x, y, z) = (110°, 30°, 30°)

(iii) (x, y, z) = (110°, 70°, 70°)

Explanation:

The things you need to know and use are ...

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Alternate interior angles between a transversal and parallel lines are congruent.

Corresponding angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines are congruent.

__

(ii) Angles B and D are opposite, so congruent:

x = 110°

Angle DAB is supplementary to angle B, so is 70°. That means z is ...

z = 70° -40° = 30°

Angle y is "alternate interior" relative to z, so is congruent to z:

y = 30°

__

(iii) Angle x is adjacent to angle N, so is supplementary to 70°.

x = 180° -70° = 110°

Angle y is opposite angle N, so is congruent.

y = 70°

Angle z is corresponding to angle N, so is congruent. (It is also "alternate interior" with respect to angle y, so is congruent to y.)

z = 70°
