The mistake is in Step 1. The solver should have also squared when squaring the other side of the equation.
For this problem, we are given a parallelogram with a diagonal drawn, inside it there are markings for a few angles. We need to determine the unknown angles.
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel, this means we can treat the diagonal as a transversal line that crosses two parallel lines. Since this is the case, the angles 33º and xº are alternate interior angles and have the same length:
The opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent, therefore:
The sum of internal angles is 360º, therefore we have:
The value of x is 33º, the value of y is 38º and the value of z is 109º.
