Solution


WXYZ is a parallelogram.

(1)
l(XY) = l(WZ) = 4.5 cm (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent)

(2)
l(XW) = l(YZ) = 8.2 cm (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent)

(3)
l(OZ) = l(OX) = 2.5 cm (Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other)

(4)
l(WY) = 2 × l(WO) = 2 × 3.3 = 6.6 cm (Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other)

(5)
m∠WXY = m∠WZY = 120º (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent)

Now,

m∠WZY + m∠XWZ = 180º (Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary)

⇒ 120º + m∠XWZ = 180º

⇒ m∠XWZ = 180º − 120º = 60º
