Answer 4

(XWZ - XZ)/2 = angle XYZ

(245 - p)/2 = 65

solve for p

Answer 5

I did 245- 65 and I got 180 then divided by 2 and got 90? :)

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910 or do I do 245 * (65 * 2) ?

Answer 7

multiply both sides by 2 to get this

(245 - p)/2 = 65

245 - p = 65*2

245 - p = 130

so p = ???
