Answer:

∠WVX = 35°

Explanation:

Look at the rough draw.

As you can see,

VW ║ YZ

So ∠XWV is congruent to ∠XYZ through alternate interior angle.

We can solve ∠WVX by considering the two other angles, 88° and 57°.

Total angle of a triangle is 180°.

So,

? + 88 + 57 = 180

? + 145 = 180

? = 180 - 145

? = 35°

Two straight lines VZ and YW intersect at X VW is parallel to YZ, angle XYZ = 57° and-example-1
