Find the angles x°, y° and z° from the given figure.

Theorem 1: Sum of all the angles of triangles is 180°


Theorem 2:


If a side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed, is equal to the sum of the two interior angle.



In Δ ABC


A + B + C = 180° (Angle Sum Property)


101° + 26° + z° = 180°


127° + z° = 180°


z° = 180° - 127°


z° = 53°


In Δ FBG


Ext. G = B + F


y° = 26° + 106°


y° = 132°


AED + DEC = 180°


AED + 128° = 180°


AED = 180° - 128°


AED = 52°


In AED


Ext. D = A + C


x° = 101° + 52°


x° = 153°
