1. **State the problem:** We are given a circle with center $A$ and points $W, X, Y, Z$ on the circle. $\overline{YW}$ and $\overline{XZ}$ are diameters, which means each subtends a $180^\circ$ arc. We want to find the measure of the major arc $\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{YWZ}$ in degrees.
2. **Interpret the given angles:**
- $\angle X A Y = 11N$ degrees.
- $\angle Y A Z = 5N + 4$ degrees.
Since $W, X, Y, Z$ lie on the circle, and $WA$ and $YA$ are radii, these central angles correspond to arcs between those points.
3. **Use the fact that the points are clockwise:** The order around the circle is $W \to X \to Y \to Z$, and using the central angles we can find the arc measures.
4. The diameter $\overline{YW}$ divides the circle into two semicircles of $180^\circ$ each. Therefore:
- Arc $YW = 180^\circ$
- Arc $W Y$ opposite would also be $180^\circ$
5. Similarly, diameter $\overline{XZ}$ divides the circle into arcs $X Z$ and $Z X$, each $180^\circ$.
6. **Identify arcs corresponding to angles at center:**
- $\angle X A Y = 11N$ corresponds to arc $XY$.
- $\angle Y A Z = 5N+4$ corresponds to arc $YZ$.
7. Total arc from $X$ to $Z$ going through $Y$ is arc $XY + YZ$:
$$\text{arc } XZ = 11N + 5N + 4 = 16N + 4$$
But from step 5 we know $\text{arc } XZ = 180^\circ$ because $\overline{XZ}$ is a diameter.
8. Set up the equation:
$$16N + 4 = 180$$
$$16N = 176$$
$$N = 11$$
9. Calculate angle values:
- $\angle X A Y = 11 \times 11 = 121^\circ$
- $\angle Y A Z = 5 \times 11 + 4 = 55 + 4 = 59^\circ$
10. We want the measure of the major arc $\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{YWZ}$. Note this arc goes from $Y$ to $W$ to $Z$ around the circle clockwise.
11. Arc $YW = 180^\circ$ (diameter), arc $YZ = 59^\circ$, so arc $YWZ$ = arc $YW +$ arc $WZ$.
12. Since $W, X, Y, Z$ are clockwise, and we know arc $XZ = 180^\circ$, arc $WZ$ is the arc complement to $X Z$ (since $W$ and $X$ are endpoints of $W X$ diameter). The full circle is $360^\circ$.
13. To find arc $WZ$:
- $\text{arc } WZ = 360^\circ - \text{arc } ZW$.
- Given arc $YW = 180^\circ$, then arc $WZ$ = arc $XZ$ (since diameters $YW$ and $XZ$ are perpendicular to each other center-wise).
Actually, from the order $W, X, Y, Z$, moving clockwise:
- Arc $YW$ = $180^\circ$ (diameter)
- Arc $YZ$ = $59^\circ$
- Arc $WY$ and $WZ$ relationship imply major arc $YWZ = 180^\circ +$ arc $YZ = 180^\circ + 59^\circ = 239^\circ$
14. **Final answer:** The arc measure of the major arc $\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{YWZ}$ is
$$239^\circ$$
