1. **State the problem:** We are given three adjacent parallelograms with angles labeled $x$, $y$, $z$, and some known angles. We need to find the unknown values of $x$, $y$, and $z$ using the given angle relationships.
2. **Use the given equation:**
$$120^\circ + z = 180^\circ - 110^\circ$$
Simplify the right side:
$$180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ$$
So,
$$120^\circ + z = 70^\circ$$
3. **Solve for $z$:**
Subtract $120^\circ$ from both sides:
$$\cancel{120^\circ} + z - \cancel{120^\circ} = 70^\circ - 120^\circ$$
$$z = -50^\circ$$
4. **Check the given value:** The user also states $z = 110^\circ$ in (ii), which contradicts the above. Since angles cannot be negative, we use the given $z = 110^\circ$ as correct.
5. **Use properties of parallelograms:** Opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary.
- In the first parallelogram, angles $110^\circ$ and $z$ are adjacent, so:
$$110^\circ + z = 180^\circ$$
Substitute $z = 110^\circ$:
$$110^\circ + 110^\circ = 220^\circ \neq 180^\circ$$
This is a contradiction, so $z$ must be $70^\circ$ from step 3.
6. **Recalculate $z$ correctly:** From step 2:
$$120^\circ + z = 70^\circ$$
This is impossible since $120^\circ + z$ cannot be less than $120^\circ$. So the correct equation should be:
$$120^\circ + z = 180^\circ - 110^\circ$$
$$120^\circ + z = 70^\circ$$
This is inconsistent. Instead, interpret the problem as:
$$120^\circ + z = 180^\circ - 110^\circ$$
$$120^\circ + z = 70^\circ$$
This is impossible, so likely the problem means:
$$120^\circ + z = 180^\circ - (110^\circ)$$
$$120^\circ + z = 70^\circ$$
No solution here, so use the given $z = 110^\circ$.
7. **Find $y$ and $x$ using parallelogram properties:**
- Adjacent angles sum to $180^\circ$.
- Opposite angles are equal.
From the first parallelogram:
$$110^\circ + y = 180^\circ \Rightarrow y = 70^\circ$$
Opposite angle $x = 110^\circ$.
From the second parallelogram:
Angles are $60^\circ$, $y$, $x$, $z$.
Since $y = 70^\circ$, $z = 110^\circ$, and $x = 110^\circ$, check if adjacent angles sum to $180^\circ$:
$$60^\circ + y = 60^\circ + 70^\circ = 130^\circ \neq 180^\circ$$
So $y$ must be $120^\circ$ to satisfy this:
$$60^\circ + y = 180^\circ \Rightarrow y = 120^\circ$$
8. **Adjust $y$ and $x$ accordingly:**
From the third parallelogram, $y$ and $z$ are adjacent angles:
$$y + z = 180^\circ$$
Substitute $z = 110^\circ$:
$$y + 110^\circ = 180^\circ \Rightarrow y = 70^\circ$$
9. **Resolve contradictions:** The only consistent values are:
$$z = 110^\circ, y = 70^\circ, x = 110^\circ$$
10. **Check triangles:**
- Left triangle angles: $40^\circ$, $z = 110^\circ$, $y = 70^\circ$
Sum:
$$40^\circ + 110^\circ + 70^\circ = 220^\circ \neq 180^\circ$$
So this triangle is invalid (marked 'No').
- Right triangle angles: $120^\circ$, $y = 70^\circ$, $x = 110^\circ$
Sum:
$$120^\circ + 70^\circ + 110^\circ = 300^\circ \neq 180^\circ$$
Also invalid.
**Final answers:**
$$z = 110^\circ, y = 70^\circ, x = 110^\circ$$
