    hey guys my sister is having a problem in math, and well i suck at it. this is the problem.

    there is a circle with a line through it, with several angles all with the vertex at the center. the line in through the center is labeled WZ, some other points on the circle are Y and X the center is labeled C the angle labled XCW is 33degrees, the one labled YCZ is 82 degrees point Y is between Z And X and the angle labeled XCY has no degrees given. my problem is that they want the arc of the angle ZWX which is pretty hard to figure out.
    If you can help at all please try? I know I'm asking a lot from a verbal description of a problem that has a diagram but if you could help with some formulas or something, really any help would be appreciated :)

    my scanner is broke but i tried my best to draw it in paint the way it looks on the paper, I made sure to include all identifiers that are on the original paper.

    my sister just informed me that there is an answer sheet, unfortunately she has to show how she got the answer and we don't know what we are doing. the answer for this problem is that the arc of ZWX is 213. but how on earth do they get that?

    I knew it :p, but I do all my problems mentally so cant help ya there

    But here, ZW is 180 degrees, then add the 33 degrees from WX and you have the answer.

    ZW+WX=ZWX :)
