Question

which statement regarding the diagram is true?

\\(m\angle wxy = m\angle yxz\\)
\\(m\angle wxy < m\angle yzx\\)
\\(m\angle wxy + m\angle yxz = 180^\circ\\)
\\(m\angle wxy + m\angle xyz = 180^\circ\\)

Explanation:

Identify the geometric relationship

$$ \text{Points } W, X, \text{ and } Z \text{ lie on a straight line, forming a linear pair at vertex } X. $$

Apply the Linear Pair Postulate

$$ m\angle WXY + m\angle YXZ = 180^\circ $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(m\angle WXY = m\angle YXZ\)
  • (B) \(m\angle WXY < m\angle YZX\)
  • (C) \(m\angle WXY + m\angle YXZ = 180^\circ\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(m\angle WXY + m\angle XYZ = 180^\circ\)
