Without a diagram, it is not possible to determine the exact values of x, y, and z in the parallelogram. It would be helpful to provide a diagram or additional information that would allow us to solve for these variables.
I'm sorry, but I cannot see the diagram that you mentioned. Could you please provide more information or describe the diagram and any given information?
To find the values of the variables x, y, and z, we need to use the properties of a parallelogram.
Property 1: Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.
From the diagram, we can see that the length of the side with variable x is equal to 10 units.
Property 2: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal in measure.
From the diagram, we can see that angles x and y are opposite angles. Therefore, the measure of angle x is equal to the measure of angle y.
Property 3: The sum of the interior angles of a parallelogram is 360 degrees.
The measure of angle x is given as 3z degrees. The measure of angle y is given as 5z degrees. Therefore, we can write the equation: 3z + 5z = 360
Simplifying, we get: 8z = 360
Dividing both sides by 8, we get: z = 360/8 = 45
Now that we have found the value of z, we can substitute it back into the equation for x and y.
For x: x = 10
For y: y = 5z = 5 * 45 = 225
Therefore, the values of the variables x, y, and z in the parallelogram are:
x = 10, y = 225, and z = 45.
