Answer:

The difference of z and y must be 2x.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The measure of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arches it covers

so

[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}[z-y][/tex]

Isolate the difference of z and y

[tex](z-y)=2x[/tex]

therefore

The difference of z and y must be 2x.
