Question

The total measure of two adjacent angles is 168°. If one of the adjacent angles measures 107.6°, determine the measure of the other adjacent angle.

a-275.6
b-197.6
c-72.4
d-60.4

Answer 1

To determine the measure of the other adjacent angle, subtract the given angle of 107.6° from the total of 168°, which results in 60.4°.

The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of the other adjacent angle, we need to subtract the measure of the given angle from the total measure of both angles.

The total measure is 168°, and one of the angles measures 107.6°.

The calculation is as follows:
Measure of the unknown angle = Total measure of both angles - Measure of the given angle

Measure of the unknown angle = 168° - 107.6° = 60.4°

Therefore, the measure of the other adjacent angle is 60.4°.
