Transcript text: Find the measures of $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Step 2: Set up an equation.
Let $x$ and $y$ represent the measure of $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$ respectively.
We are given that $\angle Z = 164^\circ$, $\angle V = 102^\circ$, and $\angle W = 90^\circ$.
Since the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$, we have:
$x + y + 164^\circ + 102^\circ + 90^\circ= 360^\circ$
Step 3: Simplify and solve for $x$ and $y$.
$x + y + 356^\circ = 360^\circ$
$x + y = 360^\circ - 356^\circ$
$x + y = 4^\circ$
Since $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$ are marked with the same symbol, they have the same measure.
So, $x = y$. Therefore,
$x + x = 4^\circ$
$2x = 4^\circ$
$x = 2^\circ$
Since $x = y$, $y = 2^\circ$.
Final Answer
The measures of $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$ are both $2^\circ$.
