Answer :

Answer: C.   angle WXY + angle YXZ = 180 degrees

Explanation:

These two angles are a linear pair. They are supplementary (ie they add to 180) and they are adjacent. We know they are supplementary because line WXZ is a straight line. Put another way: point X is on line WZ.

Side notes:

  • Choice A is only true if we have a 90 degree angle at point X
  • Choice B is never true because of the remote interior angle theorem
  • Choice D is only true if we have an isosceles triangle with XZ = YZ.
