1. Problem Description

The given figure is a trapezoid WXYZWXYZ with WX=7WX = 7 and YZ=7YZ = 7. The angle ZZ is given as 6868^{\circ}. We are asked to find the measure of angle YY.

2. Solution Steps

Since WXYZWXYZ is a trapezoid and WXYZWX \parallel YZ, we have that adjacent angles between parallel sides are supplementary.
Also, since the non-parallel sides have equal length, WX=YZ=7WX = YZ = 7, this is an isosceles trapezoid.
In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are equal.
Therefore, Z=W=68\angle Z = \angle W = 68^{\circ}.
Also, X=Y\angle X = \angle Y.
Since WZXYWZ \parallel XY, we have that consecutive interior angles are supplementary. Thus,
Y+Z=180\angle Y + \angle Z = 180^{\circ}.
Y+68=180\angle Y + 68^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
Y=18068\angle Y = 180^{\circ} - 68^{\circ}
Y=112\angle Y = 112^{\circ}.
Alternatively, since it is an isosceles trapezoid, Z=W\angle Z = \angle W and X=Y\angle X = \angle Y. Also, W+X=180\angle W + \angle X = 180^{\circ} and Y+Z=180\angle Y + \angle Z = 180^{\circ}.
Since Z=68\angle Z = 68^{\circ}, we have Y+68=180\angle Y + 68^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}, which gives Y=18068=112\angle Y = 180^{\circ} - 68^{\circ} = 112^{\circ}.
