Question
in the figure below, n is parallel to o. find the values of x and z.
(3z + 30)°
x°
63°
Step1: Find the value of \(x\)
Since \(x\) and \(63^{\circ}\) are supplementary angles (they form a linear pair), we use the formula \(x + 63^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).
$$x=180 - 63$$
$$x = 117$$
Step2: Find the value of \(z\)
Since \(n\parallel o\), the angle \((3z + 30)^{\circ}\) and \(63^{\circ}\) are corresponding angles. So \(3z+30 = 63\).
First, subtract \(30\) from both sides: \(3z=63 - 30\), \(3z = 33\).
Then divide both sides by \(3\): \(z=\frac{33}{3}\)
$$z = 11$$
