Based on the diagram shown below, the measure of YXZ is equal to 58°.
In Mathematics, a complementary angle refers to two angles whose sum is equal to 90 degrees (90°).
Mathematically, a complementary angle can be calculated by using this mathematical expression:
Q + R = 90°
Where:
Q and R are measure of the angles subtended.
Note: Let the variable x represent angle WXY (m∠WXY).
Since m∠WXV is 11 more than three times the measure of WXY, the sum of the angles is given by;
139 = x + (11 + 3x)
4x = 128
x = 32°
Now, we can find the measure of YXZ;
m∠YXZ + m∠WXY = 90°
m∠YXZ = 90° - 32°
m∠YXZ = 58°
Complete Question:
In the diagram below, ∠WXZ is a right angle. If m∠WXV is eleven more than three times m∠WXY and m∠ YXV=139°, find m∠YXZ.
