We are given a kite $WXYZ$. We are given $m\angle WXY = 120^\circ$, $m\angle WZY = (4x)^\circ$, and $m\angle ZWX = (10x)^\circ$. We need to find $m\angle ZYX$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a kite WXYZWXYZ. We are given mWXY=120m\angle WXY = 120^\circ, mWZY=(4x)m\angle WZY = (4x)^\circ, and mZWX=(10x)m\angle ZWX = (10x)^\circ. We need to find mZYXm\angle ZYX.

2. Solution Steps

In a kite, two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length. Also, one pair of opposite angles are equal. The angles between the unequal sides are equal. In kite WXYZWXYZ, the angles WXYWXY and WZYWZY are not necessarily equal, so the other two angles ZWXZWX and ZYXZYX are equal.
Therefore, mZYX=mZWXm\angle ZYX = m\angle ZWX.
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360360^\circ. Therefore, in kite WXYZWXYZ, we have
mWXY+mWZY+mZWX+mZYX=360m\angle WXY + m\angle WZY + m\angle ZWX + m\angle ZYX = 360^\circ
Substituting the given values, we have
120+(4x)+(10x)+mZYX=360120^\circ + (4x)^\circ + (10x)^\circ + m\angle ZYX = 360^\circ
Since mZYX=mZWX=(10x)m\angle ZYX = m\angle ZWX = (10x)^\circ, we have
120+4x+10x+10x=360120 + 4x + 10x + 10x = 360
120+24x=360120 + 24x = 360
24x=36012024x = 360 - 120
24x=24024x = 240
x=24024x = \frac{240}{24}
x=10x = 10
Therefore, mZYX=10x=10(10)=100m\angle ZYX = 10x = 10(10) = 100.
