In the diagram below, line MN is a diameter of the circle. Find angle XYZ, in degrees.

Note that  

 

Angle M  = (1/2) its intercepted arc  =  (1/2)(80)   = 40°

 

Similarly, angle N = (1/2) 35  =  17.5°

 

Then in triangle MYN  angle MYN   =180 - 40 - 17.5  = 122.5°

 

But  angle XYZ  is a vertical  angle to angle MYN  so it also measures 122.5°

CPhill is (this time)smileycorrect.

Line WO bisects angle MOX and it's parallel to XY

Line VO bisects angle NOZ and it's parallel to YZ

∠WOV = ∠XYZ = 180° - ( 40° + 17.5° )
