1. Problem Description

We are given a kite WXYZWXYZ. We know that mY=40m\angle Y = 40^\circ and mW=112m\angle W = 112^\circ. We need to find mXm\angle X.

2. Solution Steps

A kite is a quadrilateral, and the sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360360^\circ.
mW+mX+mY+mZ=360m\angle W + m\angle X + m\angle Y + m\angle Z = 360^\circ
In a kite, the angles between the non-congruent sides are congruent.
Thus, in kite WXYZWXYZ, we have XZ\angle X \cong \angle Z, which means mX=mZm\angle X = m\angle Z.
We are given mY=40m\angle Y = 40^\circ and mW=112m\angle W = 112^\circ. Substituting these values into the equation for the sum of the interior angles, we get
112+mX+40+mZ=360112^\circ + m\angle X + 40^\circ + m\angle Z = 360^\circ
Since mX=mZm\angle X = m\angle Z, we can write
112+mX+40+mX=360112^\circ + m\angle X + 40^\circ + m\angle X = 360^\circ
152+2(mX)=360152^\circ + 2(m\angle X) = 360^\circ
2(mX)=3601522(m\angle X) = 360^\circ - 152^\circ
2(mX)=2082(m\angle X) = 208^\circ
mX=2082m\angle X = \frac{208^\circ}{2}
mX=104m\angle X = 104^\circ

3. Final Answer

mX=104m\angle X = 104^\circ
