answer

84 degrees

set up equation

in a circle, the inscribed angle theorem states that the inscribed angle is half the intercepted arc

angle X is the inscribed angle

arc WV is the intercepted arc

inscribed angle = intercepted arc/2

X = WV/2

values

X = 42

plug in values and solve

42 = WV/2

WV = 42 * 2

WV = 84 degrees
