Question

3. In the figure below, find the values of x, y, and z.

Answer 1

Answer:

z= 13

x= 36

y= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for z.

We know that 108 degrees and (8z+4) are alternate exterior angles, so they are equal to each other.

We can set both of those angles equal to each other, and solve for our missing side, z.

108= 8z+4

104=8z

z= 13

Solving for x.

We know that 108 degrees and (3x) are alternate interior angles, so they would equal each other.

We can set both of these angles equal to each other, and solve for our missing side, x.

3x=108

x= 36

Solve for y.

We know that (4y) and (3x) are same side interior angles, so they would make 180 degrees. We know that (3x) would equal 108.

4y+108=180

4y= 72

y= 18
