Question

Consider the given parallelograms. Find the values of the unknowns x, y, z.

Solution

x = 90° (Vertically opposite angles)

x + y + 30° = 180° (Angle sum property of triangles)

90° + 30° + y = 180°

120° + y = 180°

y = 180° − 120° = 60°    ...[Since alternate angles are equal in a parallelogram]

y = z = 60° 

Thus x = 90°, y = 60° and z = 60°
