Answer:

z = 60°

Explanation:

To get the measure of angle E we will use the property of similar triangles.

" If the two triangles are similar their corresponding angles will be equal in measure. "

Since, ΔACB ~ ΔEFD,

Their corresponding angles will measure the same.

m∠A ≅ m∠E

m∠C ≅ m∠F

m∠B ≅ m∠D

In ΔABC,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠A + 65 + 55 = 180

m∠A = 180 - 120

m∠A = 60°

Therefore, m∠A ≅ z ≅ 60°
