Question
**Problem 6: Find the measures of angles \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\).**

The diagram shows a triangle with a right angle marked as \(z^\circ\), and two other angles marked as \(65^\circ\) and \(38^\circ\). The angle opposite the right angle is marked as \(x^\circ\). Another angle in the triangle, which is separate from the right angle, is marked as \(y^\circ\).

**Explanation of Diagram:**

- The triangle contains a smaller right triangle within it.
- The angle \(z\) is a right angle, \(90^\circ\).
- \(65^\circ\) is adjacent to the right angle \(z\).
- \(38^\circ\) is at the top of the smaller right triangle.
- The larger triangle also includes angle \(y\), not directly part of the right triangle configuration.

**Resources:**
This question is taken from Pearson Geometry Lesson 3-5.
