(02.07)Which relationship is always true for the angles x, y, and z of triangle ABC? A triangle is shown with a leg extending pa
st the top vertex. The vertices are labeled ABC. Angle y is located inside the triangle at vertex B. Angle z is located inside the triangle at vertex C. Angle x is located outside the triangle between side AC and the extended leg.

Check out the attached image. I drew what I think your book is showing. The figure on the left is triangle ABC without any extended segments. The figure on the right has segment AB extended shown in red. This forms the exterior angle x
The rule that connects x, y and z together is the remote interior angle theorem. It says that adding two interior angles is going to be equal to the exterior angle that is not touching either interior angle. The "remote" part means "far away" so just think of the two angles that are furthest way or not touching the exterior angle in question.
In terms of algebra, the rule is
x+y = z

The centroid of a triangle divides the median of the triangle into 1 : 2
The measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6
Because point T is the centroid, then we have the following ratio
Where FT = 12.
Substitute 12 for FT in the above ratio
Express as fraction
Multiply both sides by 12
This gives
Divide 12 by 2
The measure of FQ is calculated using:
Substitute 12 for FT, and 6 for TQ
Add 12 and 6
Hence, the measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6
