We will find the measure of ∠X.
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly one pair of opposite angles are congruent. In this case, we have ∠X≅ ∠Z. Let's add this to the diagram.
Using the Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem we know that the sum of the interior angles in WXYZ is 360^(∘). 70^(∘)+m∠X+56^(∘)+m∠Z=360^(∘) Let's solve for m∠X by performing inverse operations.
Substitute values
∠Z= ∠X
