Question

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram shown and the given information

In the diagram shown, /ll m, m_1 = 3x + 25 and m28 = 4x - 17
Find the measure of 2.
29
49
131
151

Answer 1

29°

Explanation:

∠1 ≅ ∠8

3x+25 = 4x -17

42 = x . . . . . . . . . . add 17-3x

Now, we can find the measure of ∠1:

m∠1 = 3(42) +25 = 151

Angle 2 is the supplement to this, so has measure ...

m∠2 = 180° -151° = 29°
