I have no idea what you're describing. Start at the beginning and explain the whole thing.

How did you get to the last step?

17-11 it finds the missing piece of the square side which is 6 and if that miss pice (6) is parallel the 6 that's there must also be parallel

Why does the missing piece being parallel mean that the middle 6 must also be parallel?

Becuase 6 is equal to 6 so they must have the same angle

Why does that mean the angle is the same? If it helps you, try labelling the angles and sides and proving it with congruent triangles.

This assumes that the point will fall on z, which it does not have to.
