Interactive practice questions

In the diagram, $C$C is a point on $AD$AD such that $AB\parallel CE$ABCE and $z=\angle BCD$z=BCD. $x$x and $y$y are two angles in $\triangle ABC$ABC, as labelled. Prove that the sum of the two interior angles of the triangle equals the exterior angle. That is, prove that $x+y=z$x+y=z.
