As \(ABCD \) is a parallelogram, we know that \(\angle D = y^{\circ}\).
Let the vertex by \(x^{\circ} = R\). \(PRD\) is a triangle and thus \(x^{\circ} + y^{\circ} + z^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}\).
Let the vertex by \(w^{\circ} = S\). Triangle \(PSC\) is similar to triangle \(PRD\) given that lines \(BC\) and \(AD\) are parallel, and therefore have the same corresponding angles. This means that \(x^{\circ}+w^{\circ}= 180^{\circ}\).
Substituting \(x^{\circ}+w^{\circ}= 180^{\circ}\) into \(x^{\circ} + y^{\circ} + z^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}\):
\(x^{\circ} + y^{\circ} + z^{\circ} = x^{\circ}+w^{\circ}\)
\( y^{\circ} + z^{\circ} = w^{\circ}\)
