Answer:


\overset{\frown}{WX}= 66^(\circ)

Explanation:

Inscribed Angle Theorem

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

First, use the Inscribed Angle Theorem to calculate the measure of arc WY.


\displaystyle \angle WXY=(1)/(2) \overset{\frown}{WY}


\implies 57^(\circ)=(1)/(2) \overset{\frown}{WY}


\implies \overset{\frown}{WY}= 2 \cdot 57^(\circ)


\implies \overset{\frown}{WY}= 114^(\circ)

Assuming XY is the diameter of the circle:


\implies \overset{\frown}{WY}+ \overset{\frown}{WX}= 180^(\circ)


\implies 114^(\circ) + \overset{\frown}{WX}= 180^(\circ)


\implies \overset{\frown}{WX}= 180^(\circ) - 114^(\circ)


\implies \overset{\frown}{WX}= 66^(\circ)
