Find the value of \( x \) in quadrilateral WXYZ, where the angles W, X, Y, and Z are labeled \( x \) degrees, 100 degrees, 130 degrees, and 66 degrees, respectively.

a) 64°

b) 66°

c) 70°

d) 76°

Answer :

Final answer:

After subtracting the known angles from 360, we find that x equals 64 degrees. A is correct.

Explanation:

The question asks us to find the value of angle W, labeled as x degrees, in a quadrilateral WXYZ with the given angles at X, Y, and Z being 100 degrees, 130 degrees, and 66 degrees respectively.

To find x, we need to use the fact that the sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral equals 360 degrees. We can set up the following equation: x + 100 + 130 +66 = 360.

Solving for x, we subtract the other three angles from 360:

360 - (100 + 130 + 66) = 360 - 296 = 64

Therefore, the value of x is 64 degrees.
