Find the values of x,yand z

Short Answer

Expert verified

Values are x=70,y=12and z=28

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Label the given figure

02

Step 2. Observations from figure

Arrowheads denotes line segment AB¯is parallel toCD¯

Line segment EF¯is transversal to the parallel lines

Line segment GH¯is perpendicular to the parallel lines

03

Step 3. Find x degree

BQR and QRDforms a pair of same-side interior angles

Theorem 3-3: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the same-side interior angles are supplementary.

mBQR+mQRD=180

3x+90=180

3x=18090

x=903

x=30

Thus, x=30

04

Step 4. Find y degree

APEand CRPforms a pair of corresponding angles

Postulate 10: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the corresponding angles are congruent

mCRP=mAPE

8y+4=68

8y=684

y=648

y=8

Thusy=8

05

Step 5. Find z degree

GH¯is perpendicular to CD¯

mCRQ=90

8y+4+2z=90

2z=90488

2z=8668

z=222

z=11

Thus z=11
