Question

Lilit opens a pair of scissors 65°. Then she closes the scissors 60° to make a cut. Then she reopens the scissors 100°. How many degrees open are the scissors now? Show your work.

Answer 1

105°

Step-by-step explanation:

When she opens the scissors, we need to add the angle and when she closes the scissors, we need to subtract the angle.

Then, the final angle will be

65° - 60° + 100° = 105°

Because she opens the scissors 65°, then she closes it 60°, and then she opens it 100°

Therefore, now the scissors are 105° open
