We will find the measure of ∠Z.
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 ABCD is 360^(∘). 90^(∘)+m∠X + 120^(∘)+m∠Z=360^(∘) Let's solve for m∠Z by performing inverse operations.
Substitute values
∠X= ∠Z
