Answer:

128°

Explanation:

In kite WXYZ, WY and XZ are longer and smaller diagonals respectively.

Longer diagonal bisects the opposite angles.


\therefore m\angle ZYW =m\angle XYW


\because m\angle XYW = 11\degree... (given)


\therefore m\angle ZYW =11\degree


In\: \triangle WYZ


m\angle ZYW + m\angle ZWY + m\angle WZY=180\degree


11\degree + 41\degree+ m\angle WZY=180\degree


52\degree+ m\angle WZY=180\degree


m\angle WZY=180\degree - 52\degree


\purple{\bold {m\angle WZY=128\degree}}
