Answer:

w = 146 degrees

x = 90 degrees

y = 34 degrees

z = 56 degrees

Explanation:

Right angles will always add up to 90 degrees.

Straight lines will always add up to 180 degrees.

Since x is a right angle, x = 90 degrees.

Since z + 34 = 90 degrees (a right angle):

90 - 34 = z

90 - 34 = 56 degrees

Since x + y + z = 180 degrees (a straight line), simply plug in the numbers we have found already:

90 + y + 56 = 180

y = 180 - 90 - 56

y = 34

Since w + 34 = 180 degrees (a straight line):

180 - 34 = w

180 - 34 = 146 degrees
