Answer:


m \angle BXC = 70\°

Explanation:

According to the figure,


\angle XBC \cong \angle AXY, by corresponding angles definition.

So,
m \angle XBC = 55\°

Then,
m\angle XBC = m\angle XCB, by isosceles triangle theorem.


m\angle XCB=55\°

Now,
m\angle XBC + m\angle XCB + \angle BXC = 180\°, by internal angles theorem.

Replacing and solving for
\angle BXC}, we have


55 +55 + m\angle BXC = 180\\m\angle BXC = 180-110=70\°

Therefore,
m \angle BXC = 70\°
