Need help with this question.Find the values of x,y, and z. The diagram is not to scale.
Accepted Solution
A:
Small triangle needs to equal 180degrees. so 180 = 63 + 36 + x 180 = 99 + x subtract 99 from both sides to isolate x 81 = x
Now, x and z are supplementary angles. Meaning that they add up to 180degrees
x + z = 180 81 + z = 180 subtract 81 from both sides to isolate z z = 99
Now we can see there is a triangle formed with the top angle 13 degrees and z and y they must all add up to 180. 180 = 13 + z + y we know z = 99 180 = 13 + 99 + y 180 = 112 + y 68 = y
