Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is last one  77 degrees.

Therefore the measure angle W is 77 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Exterior angle = 122°

∠W = (2x-13)°

∠Y= x°

To Find:

∠W = (2x-13)° = ?

Solution:

Exterior Angle Property:

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

Angle W and Angle Y are the interior angles of Exterior angle 122°.

∴ [tex]Exterior\ angle=m\angle W+m\angle Y[/tex]

Substituting the values we get

[tex]122=2x-13+x\\3x=135\\\\x=\dfrac{135}{3}=45\\\\x=45[/tex]

Now Substitute 'x' in angle W we get

[tex]m\angle W=2\times 45 -13=77\°[/tex]

Therefore the measure angle W is 77 degrees.

Answer:

77 is the answer
