Answer:

z = 70°

y = 103°

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

110° + z° = 180° [Supplementary angles]

z = 180 - 110

z = 70°

Since sum of interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2)×180°

where n = number of sides of the polygon

For a quadrilateral (n = 4),

Sum of interior angles = (4 - 2) × 180°

= 360°

z° + y° + 100° + 87° = 360°

70° + y° + 187° = 360°

y = 103°

Therefore, measure of the angles x = 70° and y = 103°.
