Question

Which relationship is always true for the angles x, y, and z of triangle MNP? (4 points)

A triangle is shown with a leg extending past the top vertex. The vertices are labeled MNP. Angle y is located inside the triangle at vertex N. Angle z is located inside the triangle at vertex P. Angle x is located inside the triangle at vertex M.

x + z = y

y + z = x

x + y + z = 180 degrees

x + y + z = 90 degrees

Answer 1

The true statement for the angles x, y, and z of triangle MNP is:

x + y + z = 180 degrees.
