Question

Find the values of x, y, and z. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

find \(x\) first, using the fact that \(63+36+x=180\)

Answer 2

then you can find \(y\) since \(x+y=180\) as well

Answer 3

What I have so far is 63+36=81 which is x.
81+y=180
Subtract 180 from 81 to get 99 which is y.
How do I get z?

Answer 4

actually, x+y is not 180
x+z = 180
so you got z = 99 . and is correct.
to find 'y', you again use the fact that sum of angles of a triangle = 180
so, 13+z+y=180
get 'y' from here .....

Answer 5

x=81,y=68,z=99. Correct?

Answer 6

yes!

Answer 7

Awesome! Thank you so much!
