Answer:
x = 50°
y = 50°
z = 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
working out x:
angles on a straight line add up to 180°
x + 130° = 180°
subtract 130 on both sides
x = 180° - 130°
x = 50°
working out y:
two vertical lines means that both sides are equal, so both angles are also equal (it's an isosceles triangle). This means that y is the same angle as x = 50°
y = 50°
working out z:
the sum of a triangle add up to 180°
add up the angles of x and y and equate to 180°
50 + 50 + z = 180
100 + z = 180
subtract 100 on both sides
z = 180 - 100
z = 80°
