A utility pole makes a 90° angle with the ground. A cable wire connected to the utility pole makes an exterior angle of 110° with the ground. Using the information, find m ZXYZ.

Notice that angles YXW and ZXY are supplementary angles, therefore:
[tex]\measuredangle YXW+\measuredangle ZXY=180^{\circ}[/tex]Substituting ∡YXW=110° and solving for ∡ZXY we get:
[tex]\measuredangle ZXY=180^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=70^{\circ}[/tex]Also, angles XYZ and ZXY are complementary angles, then:
[tex]\measuredangle XYZ+\measuredangle ZYX=90^{\circ}[/tex]Substituting ∡ZXY=70° and solving for ∡XYZ we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \measuredangle XYZ+70^{\circ}=90^{\circ} \\ \measuredangle XYZ=20^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]
