Best Answer

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transverse line, they form eight angles. You can consider the parallel lines as the horizontal lines of the letter Z and the transversal as the sloped line of Z. Then the two angles in that Z-shape are the Z angles. The transversal for Z-angles can slope either way.

It can be proved that Z-angles, properly called ALTERNATE angles, are equal.

How do you solve if angle x and angle y are complementary and angle z and angle q are complementary and angle x and angle z are congruent then angle y is congruent to angle q?

x and y are complementary so x + y = 90 and so y = 90 - x z and q are complementary so z + q = 90 and so q = 90 - z x = z so 90 - x = 90 - z that is y = q

In triangle YZX z 13 km x 21 km y 29 km Find mangle and ampangleX?

Let the sides be x y z and their opposite angles be X Y Z Using the cosine rule angle X = 41 degrees Using the cosine rule angle Y = 115 degrees Angle Z: 180-41-115 = 24 degrees


How many acute angles in the letter z?

The letter "Z" has two acute angles. An acute angle is any angle that measures less than 90 degrees, and the two angles in the letter "Z" are less than 90 degrees. Each acute angle in the letter "Z" is formed by the intersection of two line segments at a point where the interior angles are less than 90 degrees.


What is a supplementary and complementary angle?

A complementary angle is an angle that when added to another angle creates a 90o angle. A supplementary angle is an angle that when added to another angle creates a 180o angle.


What are congruence statements for triangels?

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ if AB=XY, BC=YZ, and CA=ZX. Also angle A=angle X, angle B=angle Y, and angle C= angle Z.


Find the measure of an angle such that the sum of the measures of its complement and its supplement is 150 degrees?

Very simple, let's mount a linear system: x=measure of the angle; y=supplement; z=complement: I:x+y= 180; II:x+z= 90; III: y+z= 150; Summing I with II we have: I+II: 2x+y+z= 270; III: y+z=150 Now, subtracting III from I+II we have a simple equation: 2x=120; >x= 60< So, the angle whose sum of the measures of its complements and supplement is 150, has 60 degrees.
