Answer:

  • x = 30
  • y = 105
  • z = 75

Explanation:

You know the linear pair z° and 105° are supplementary angles, so ...

z = 180 -105 = 75

The other base angle of the isosceles triangle has the same measure, 75°. __

Then x can be found either from the sum of interior angles of the triangle, or from the relation of 105° to the "remote interior angles". The first relation gives ...

75° +75° +x° = 180° ⇒ x = 180 -150 = 30

The second relation gives ...

75° +x° = 105° ⇒ x = 105 -75 = 30

__

y° is supplementary to the left-side base angle, so is ...

y = 180 -75 = 105

Of course, you could also figure y from the symmetry of the figure.

The values of x, y, z are 30, 105, 75, respectively.
