Find the measure of angle w.
Angle b and angle c are complementary angles. Write an equation that represents the relationship between angle b and angle c.
2 parallel lines cut by a transversal. The top intersection has a line segment extending vertically from the intersection of the transversal and the horizontal line. Clockwise from top left, the top intersection shows 5 angles labeled c, b, a, e, and d. Clockwise from top left, the bottom intersection shows 4 angles labeled x, w, z, and y.

To find the measure of angle \( w \), we first need to utilize the relationships established in the problem statement.
1. **Complementary Angles**:
Since angles \( b \) and \( c \) are complementary, we can write:
\[
b + c = 90^\circ
\]
2. **Supplementary Angles**:
The angles \( e \) and \( w \) are supplementary, which gives us the equation:
\[
e + w = 180^\circ
\]
Next, we need to identify any relationships between the angles at the intersections formed by the parallel lines and the transversal.
- Since the lines are parallel, the angles formed at the intersections have relationships based on their positions:
- \( b \) and \( e \) are corresponding angles, so \( b = e \).
- \( c \) and \( w \) are alternate interior angles, so \( c = w \).
Now, we can substitute the known relationships into the equations we established.
From \( e + w = 180^\circ \) and knowing \( b = e \) and \( c = w \), we can rewrite the equation as:
\[
b + c = 180^\circ
\]
But we previously established that \( b + c = 90^\circ \) from the first relationship (complementary).
To clarify the steps using known equality:
1. We assume \( b = e \) and \( c = w \):
- Thus, replace \( e \) and \( w \) in the supplementary equation:
\[
b + w = 180^\circ
\]
- Since \( w = c \) from the alternate interior angles, we replace \( w \) as follows:
\[
b + c = 180^\circ
\]
From the relationships:
1. \( b + c = 90^\circ \)
2. \( b + w = 180^\circ \)
Now we need to utilize both for calculating:
By substituting \( c = 90 - b \) into \( b + w = 180 \):
\[
b + (90 - b) = 180
\]
This shows that:
\[
90 = 180 \text{ (not valid under normal conditions)}
\]
Instead, we know that angle \( w \) should thus equal \( 90 - b \).
To get \( w \):
\[
w = 90 - b \text{ (from complementary relationship)}
\]
And from the supplementary, since \( e + w = 180 \), and substituting \( e = b \):
\[
b + w = 180 \ \rightarrow w = 180 - b
\]
To conclude, the angles \( b \) and \( w \) have a direct relationship, \( w \) says through both relationships:
1. \( w + b = 180 \)
2. \( w = 90 - b \)
Thus \( w \) should relate overall that \( w + 90 = 180 \) ultimately helps to solve specific known angles of parallel transversals in geometry.
To summarize, you can calculate the angles if one of other was given to find a measure on:
- If \( b + c = 90 \) calibrates, you can mathematically derive \( w \) respectively from \( 90 - c \).
In conclusion, the solve will end where:
**To find the exact** \( w\) **express it as**:
\[
w = 90 - b
\]
Make sure we measure relations correctly from original angles definitions.
