Answer:1. The measure of ∠WOV is 60°. You would use complementary angles that are adjacent (∠WOV, and ∠XOW)

2. The measure of ∠YOZ is 60°. You would use the vertical angles that are non-adjacent (∠WOV, and ∠YOZ). These two angles are congruent so they would have the same measure. These angles combined also create supplementary angles

3. Another way to find the measure of ∠YOZ would be to make/write an equation and solve for x. For example, (3x+30)°=60°. x would equal 10 because 10x3=30+30=60°

Explanation:

1. Since a complementary angle would equal 90°, simply subtract 30° from 90° resulting in 60°.

2. Because vertical angles are congruent and (∠WOV, and ∠YOZ) are a pair of them, they equal the same as each other so they're both 60°.

3. You can make any equation with x included as long as it equals 60° mine was just an example you can make your own like 10x+10=60 or 4x+20=60. Also to create your equation you also need to use the angle fact of the vertical angles

Hope this helped you if not I apologize lol
