Question

Find the values of X, Y, and Z. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

We can easily figure 'x' because the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180. Can you figure 'x'?

Answer 2

x = 76

Answer 3

y and z = 33.5?

Answer 4

Yup, and 'x' lies along the same line that 'z' does, Straight lines have a measure of 180 as well, so could you find 'z'?

not 33.5

Answer 5

\[Z = 104 ? \]

Answer 6

Yup, and I'm still trying to figure 'y', so bear with me.

Answer 7

Okay

Answer 8

Doesn't the trangle need to equal something like 180 or 360??

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

So wouldn't Y = 63?

Answer 11

Because 13 + 104 = 117 and when you subtract 180 from 117 you get 63

Answer 12

Let me check real quick.

Answer 13

Is 13 the height of the line dividing the triangles, or is it the measure of the upper right angle?

Answer 14

To be honest i don't know because thats what it has on my paper is where the 13 is now...

Answer 15

That leads me to think that it is probably the height of the line then.

Answer 16

Are you given options?

Answer 17

I think that it is the corners angle

Answer 18

No..

Answer 19

Well, if 13 is the angle measure, the 'y' would equal 63 as you said.

Answer 20

Ok
