I'm visualizing that VWX is a triangle.

Since VW = VX ; Two sides are equal, then it is an isosceles triangle.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles.

Given: m∠V = 50° ;

Since interior angles must total 180° the remaining 2 unknown angles must have a sum of 130°.

180° - 50° = 130°
130° / 2 = 65°

m∠W = 65° and m∠X = 65°
