ABCD is a parallelogram. Find the values of x and y. Solve for the value of z, if z=x−y.

Answer:
C. z = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Same side interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal are supplementary.
x + 30 + x - 30 = 180
2x = 180
x = 90
x - 30 + y + 20 = 180
90 - 30 + y + 20 = 180
y + 80 = 180
y = 100
z = x - y = 90 - 100
z = -10
The value of z is -10° if z= x-y.
The parallelogram is the quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are sum to 180°.
Given in this question, angle ∠A = (x+30)°
angle ∠B= (x-30)°
angle ∠C= (y+20)°
As we know adjacent angles are sum to 180°
Here angles ∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles.
So ∠A + ∠B= 180°
⇒ (x+30)° + (x-30)° =180°
⇒2x=180°
⇒x= 180°/2= 90°
As we know opposite angles are equal.
Here angle A and C are equal.
∠A = ∠C
⇒(x+30)° = (y+20)°
⇒90°+30°= y+20°
⇒120°=y+20°
⇒y= 120°-20°
⇒y=100°
As given z= x-y
so z= 90°-100°
⇒z= -10°
Therefore the value of z is -10°.
