Problem
Given a parallelogram, find the measure of an angle.
Step-by-step solution
In parallelogram WXYZ, angle X and angle Z are consecutive angles. Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. Given that angle X is 35 degrees, angle Z = 180 - 35 = 145 degrees.
Answer
$145^{\circ}$
