A.) WXY
B.)90 degrees
C.)Impossible to get an exact measure. You would have to have the measure of angle ZXY to get it. The answer they are looking for is probably "90 - ZXY= WXZ"
D.)3x+3 where x = 29
E.)87
F.)29

Explanations: Complementary angles mean they add up to 90 degrees (a right angle).
So WXY= 90 degrees = 3x+3
Subtract 3 from both sides you get
87=3x
Divide both sided by 3 you get X = 29

a. angle WXY
b. 90
c. ? not sure if u mean angle wxy which equals 3x + 3 but if you indeed meant angle WXZ the only thing we know it is equal to is itself so angle ZXW
d. 3x + 3
e. 87
f. 29
