1. **State the problem:** We have a parallelogram ABCD with angles labeled as follows: \(\angle A = 65^\circ\), \(\angle B = x^\circ\), \(\angle C = y^\circ\), and \(\angle D = z^\circ\). We need to find the values of \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\). 2. **Recall properties of parallelograms:** In any parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees). 3. **Apply these properties:** - Since \(\angle A = 65^\circ\), then \(\angle C = y = 65^\circ\) because opposite angles are equal. - Adjacent angles sum to 180 degrees, so \(\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ\) which means \(65 + x = 180\). - Similarly, \(\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ\) and \(\angle D + \angle A = 180^\circ\). But since \(\angle C = 65^\circ\), \(\angle B = x\), and \(\angle D = z\), we can find \(x\) and \(z\). 4. **Calculate \(x\):** $$65 + x = 180$$ $$x = 180 - 65$$ $$x = 115$$ 5. **Calculate \(z\):** Since \(\angle D\) is opposite to \(\angle B\), \(z = x = 115^\circ\). 6. **Summary of angles:** - \(x = 115^\circ\) - \(y = 65^\circ\) - \(z = 115^\circ\) **Final answer:** $$x = 115^\circ, \quad y = 65^\circ, \quad z = 115^\circ$$
