Answer:

Y will be 65°

Explanation:

Since angle S is 65°, angle Y will also be 65°

What are similar shape ?

Similar shapes are shapes that have the same shape, but their sizes may vary. All equilateral triangles, squares of any side lengths are examples of similar objects. In other words, if two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are in equal proportion.

Since quadrilateral QRST is similar to quadrilateral WXYZ, then angle Q = angle W , angle R = angle X and angle S = angle Y and angle T = angle Z.

Since angle S is 65° from the diagram shown, angle will be measured as 65°.
