Answer:

∠WMX = 73

Explanation:

Half the triangle into two, congruent angles.

Total measure of a triangle is 180°.

As you know, two angles needed to find the third angle.

So we find those two angles.

The triangle we should focus on is ΔWXY since we need to find ∠WXY or ∠X

First, ∠Y has a measure of 90° because it is created by the perpendicular bisector WY.

Second angle, ∠W is found since ∠YWZ or ∠W measures 17°.

So now we have 2 angles to solve for the third angle.

∠WXY = x

90 + 17 + x = 180°

107 + x = 180

x = 180 - 107

x = 73
