Determine x, y, and z. 80°
100°
55°
60°
The measure ofx is
The measure of y is
The measure of z is

Step-by-step explanation:

You can get y and x immediately. z is a bit tricky.

x

The other two angles of a triangle containing x are 100 and 60.

x + 100 + 60 = 180          Add the two terms on the left

x + 160 = 180                  Subtract 160 from 180

x = 180 - 160                   Combine the right

x = 20

y

y is done exactly the same way.

55 + 80  + y  = 180

135  + y =  180

y = 180 - 135

y = 45

z

You have x y and z all in the same triangle.  You know x and y so z can be found in much the same way.

x + y + z = 180

20 + 45 + z = 180

65 + z = 180

z = 180 - 65

z = 115

4+4+2x

or

2x+8
