Classify $\angle y$ and $\angle z$: __________
2. $m\angle x = ________$ $m\angle y = ________$
$118^\circ$
$79^\circ$
Graph shapes and math:
Top-left: a right-angle marker at the intersection of a vertical ray and a horizontal ray, with an additional diagonal ray forming adjacent angles labeled $x$, $y$, and $z$.
Top-right: two intersecting lines, one nearly horizontal and one diagonal, with the upper-left angle marked $118^\circ$ and adjacent angles labeled $x$ and $y$.
Bottom-right: two rays forming a V-shape with the angle between them marked $79^\circ$, and a small slanted line extending left from the vertex.
1. **State the problem:**
We need to classify the pairs of angles $\angle x$ and $\angle y$, and $\angle y$ and $\angle z$ from the given diagrams.
Also, find the measures $m\angle x$ and $m\angle y$ given some angle measures.

2. **Classify $\angle x$ and $\angle y$ (Top-left diagram):**
- The diagram shows a right angle (90°) formed by vertical and horizontal rays.
- A diagonal ray creates three adjacent angles: $\angle x$, $\angle y$, and $\angle z$.
- Since the right angle is 90°, and the three angles $x$, $y$, and $z$ are adjacent and sum to 90°:
$$m\angle x + m\angle y + m\angle z = 90^\circ$$
- $\angle x$ and $\angle y$ share a common side and vertex, and are adjacent angles.
- Therefore, $\angle x$ and $\angle y$ are **adjacent angles**.

3. **Classify $\angle y$ and $\angle z$ (Top-left diagram):**
- Similarly, $\angle y$ and $\angle z$ are adjacent angles because they share a common side and vertex.
- So, $\angle y$ and $\angle z$ are **adjacent angles**.
---
4. **Find $m\angle x$ and $m\angle y$ (Top-right diagram):**
- The diagram shows two intersecting lines with an angle marked $118^\circ$ and adjacent angles $x$ and $y$.
- Since the lines intersect, vertical angles are equal.
- The angle adjacent to $118^\circ$ and labeled $x$ forms a linear pair with $118^\circ$.
- Linear pairs sum to $180^\circ$:
$$m\angle x + 118^\circ = 180^\circ$$
- Solve for $m\angle x$:
$$m\angle x = 180^\circ - 118^\circ = 62^\circ$$
- $\angle x$ and $\angle y$ are vertical angles, so:
$$m\angle y = m\angle x = 62^\circ$$
---
5. **Summary:**
- $\angle x$ and $\angle y$ are adjacent angles (top-left).
- $\angle y$ and $\angle z$ are adjacent angles (top-left).
- $m\angle x = 62^\circ$ (top-right).
- $m\angle y = 62^\circ$ (top-right).
