1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram with two lines. The first line is labeled as PP on the left and has an arrow in the middle suggesting its direction. The second line is labeled as SS on the right and also has an arrow in the middle suggesting its direction. These two lines are parallel. There is also a transversal that intersects these two parallel lines. The points of intersection on the transversal are named as QQ, RR, and ZZ. We need to find the relation between angles xx and yy, where the angles are labelled as PQR=x\angle PQR = x, QRS=y\angle QRS = y, and Z=QZR\angle Z = \angle QZR.

2. Solution Steps

Since the lines PQPQ and RSRS are parallel, we know some angle relationships hold true.
PQR\angle PQR and QRS\angle QRS are co-interior angles. The line segment QRQR is a transversal of the two parallel lines PQPQ and RSRS.
The sum of co-interior angles is 180180 degrees. Therefore, PQR+QRS=180\angle PQR + \angle QRS = 180^\circ.
x+QRS=180x + \angle QRS = 180^{\circ}.
Since ZZ is the angle formed by the transversal and segment QRQR, therefore the sum of the angles of the triangle QZRQZR is 180180^\circ.
In triangle QZRQZR, we have Z+x+y=180\angle Z + x + y = 180^{\circ}.
Since QZR\angle QZR is an exterior angle to the triangle formed by Q,R,ZQ, R, Z we have Z=x+y\angle Z = x+y. We can write:
x+y+x+y=180x+y+x+y = 180.
2x+2y=1802x+2y=180.
We have that xx and yy are interior angles of triangle QZR and hence must satisfy:
x+y<180x + y < 180.
However, without more information about angle Z, we cannot simplify further.

3. Final Answer

The sum of angles xx and yy must be less than 180 degrees. x+y<180x + y < 180.
Also, it follows that 2x+2y=1802x + 2y = 180 is incorrect.
Final Answer: x+y+z=180x + y + z = 180 and z+y=xz + y = x.
The relationship is z=x+yz = x+y. Also x+y+z=180x + y + z = 180.
