Step-by-step explanation:
In a rectangle
• All angles are right angles
• the diagonals are congruent
In Δ WXV the sum of the 3 angles = 180°
∠ WXZ = ∠ XWY = =
= 58°
∠ YXZ = 90° - 58° = 32°
∠ WVZ = 180° - 64° = 116° ( adjacent angles are supplementary )
∠ XWZ = 90° ( by definition of rectangle )
∠ XZY = ∠ WXZ = 58° ( corresponding angles )
