Question

Pine Street intersects Center Street at a 65 degree angle. If center Street is parallel to First Avenue, which equation is true?

Answer 1

The answer would be x=180-65 this is because vertically opposite angle to 65 would be 65 which means that x and 65 are supplementary.

Answer 2

The correct option is A) x = 180°-65°

Explanation:

Consider the provided figure.

It is given that center Street is parallel to First Avenue,

One angle is 65 degree then angle y will be 180°-65° (Supplementary angles)

Angle y and angle x are the corresponding angles.

The measurement of corresponding angles are equal.

Therefore, x = 180°-65°

Hence, the correct option is A) x = 180°-65°
