Let WXYZ be a trapezoid with bases XY and WZ. In this trapezoid, ZXW=105 degrees, XWZ=48 degrees, and XYZ=141 degrees. Find YXZ, in degrees.

Since XY and WZ are the bases of a trapezoid, they are parallel to each other.

 

This makes:  angle(ZWX) + angle(YXW)  =  180o.

 

Therefore:  angle(ZWX) + angle(WXZ) + angle(ZXY)  =  180o.

   --->                 48o        +       105o      + angle(ZXY)  =  180o

 

Can you take it from here?

 

[The size of angle(XYZ) is not important.]

ZXW=105 degrees       and      XYZ=141 degrees.   <======not sure this is possible but I geno's method will get you the answer
