Answer:

∠Z = 52°

b = 59°

Explanation:

You want to know the measures of an angle and a variable in the given quadrilaterals with angles marked.

Kite

Segment WY divides the figure into two congruent triangles, so you know angles X and Z have the same measure. The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360°, so ...

∠W +∠X +∠Y +∠Z = 360°

134° +∠Z +122° +∠Z = 360° . . . . . . use ∠Z for ∠X

2·∠Z = 104° . . . . . . simplify, subtract 256°

∠Z = 52°

Rhombus

Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent, so ...

2b = b +59°

b = 59° . . . . . . . . . subtract b
