Question

Find x, y, z

x = 63
x = 117
y = 117
y = 63
z = 22
z = 158

Answer 1

x= 117, y= 63, z=22

Explanation:

All triangles have a total sum of 180 degrees. So you take the angles given for x to start off.

180-36= 144

144-27=117

So, x=117.

Now, angles X and Y create a sum to a straight angle, also 180 degrees.

Since we know x=117, we subtract that number from 180;

180-117= 63

So Y = 63.

Now you can solve for z because you have two of the angles for that triangle, so you follow the same process;

180-(y, so 63) = 117

and finally,

117-95= 22

So, z=22 degrees.
