GEOMETRY A UNIT 4 #4

Question

Given WX = XY, find the measure of angle ZXY

Answer 1

The figure will throw you off. Whether an optical illusion or an inaccurately drawn figure, I am not sure.

Triangle ZWX is equilateral.

Therefore, ZX and XY are equal.

Since triangle ZXY is isosceles, angle Y=42.5

And angle ZXY = 180-42.5-42.5.
