Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the measure of arc VXW
The measure of arc VW is 33°. The measure of arc WX is 75°. Therefore, the measure of arc VXW is the sum of the measures of arc VW and arc WX.
Arc VXW = Arc VW + Arc WX
Arc VXW = 33° + 75°
Arc VXW = 108°
Step 2: Find the measure of the inscribed angle XYZ
The inscribed angle XYZ intercepts the arc VXW. The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
$\angle XYZ = \frac{1}{2} \text{Arc VXW}$
$\angle XYZ = \frac{1}{2} (108^{\circ})$
$\angle XYZ = 54^{\circ}$
