Answer 1

w is not 35 deegrees

Answer 2

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and consecutive angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Given:
- Angle X = 35 degrees
- Angle Z = 35 degrees

Since angle W and angle Z are opposite angles, angle W also measures 35 degrees.

Now, to find angle Y, we can use the fact that angle X and angle Y are supplementary:

Angle X + Angle Y = 180 degrees
35 degrees + Angle Y = 180 degrees

Now, solve for angle Y:

Angle Y = 180 degrees - 35 degrees
Angle Y = 145 degrees

So the measures are:
- The interior angle of W measures 35 degrees.
- The interior angle of Y measures 145 degrees.

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight in my previous response. Let's go through it step by step correctly this time.

In parallelogram WXYZ, we know:

- Angle X = 35 degrees
- Angle Z = 35 degrees

Since opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, we confirm:

- Angle W = Angle Y (opposite angle to W is Y)
- Angle W = Angle Z = 35 degrees

Now we need to find the measures of angles W and Y.

Using the property of supplementary angles for consecutive angles:

Angle X + Angle W = 180 degrees

So,

35 degrees + Angle W = 180 degrees

Now, solve for Angle W:

Angle W = 180 degrees - 35 degrees
Angle W = 145 degrees

Since W and Y are opposite angles and angles W and Y are equal, we can conclude:

- The interior angle of W measures 145 degrees.
- The interior angle of Y also measures 145 degrees.

To summarize:

- The interior angle of W measures 145 degrees.
- The interior angle of Y measures 145 degrees.

Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate the correction!
