Question

3) Find x, y, and z.
x = ___
y = ___
z = ___

Answer 1

z= 118

y= 118

x= 62

Explanation:

When parallel lines have two transversal lines, a set of corresponding angles, alternate angles, interior angles, and vertical angles are formed.

Corresponding angles are found on the same parallel line but are formed by different transversal lines and are equal. An example of this is the angle marked as 118 and z. therefore z=118

Vertical angles are angles found Infront of each other, they are equal. An example of vertical angles are angle y and angle z. Therefore angle y = angle z. y= 118

angle y also corresponds to point C. point C is 180 -x. Therefore x= 180-118 which is 62. x=62
