A. 70∘
B. 110∘
C. 140∘
D. 160∘

1 answer

Since ∠AXB is complementary to both ∠CYD and ∠FZE, we know that:

m∠AXB + m∠CYD = 90°

m∠AXB + m∠FZE = 90°

We also know that m∠AXB = 20°.

Substituting this value into the equations above, we get:

20° + m∠CYD = 90°

20° + m∠FZE = 90°

Solving for each unknown angle, we get:

m∠CYD = 70°
m∠FZE = 70°

Therefore,

m∠CYD + m∠FZE = 70° + 70° = 140°

The answer is (C) 140°.
