Question

Find the measure of angle b if angle a is 22 degrees and the whole angle is 300 degrees

Answer 1

`a = 278^(\circ)`

Explanation:

Given

`b = 22^(\circ)`

`Whole\ Angle = 300^(\circ)`

Required

Find the measure of a

Since there is no diagram to support the question, we'll assume that:

`a + b = Whole\ Angle`

This gives:

`a + 22^(\circ) = 300^(\circ)`

Subtract 22 from both sides

`a + 22^(\circ)-22^(\circ) = 300^(\circ)-22^(\circ)`

`a = 300^(\circ)-22^(\circ)`

`a = 278^(\circ)`
