Answer:

71

Explanation:

Those are supplementary angles meaning they add up to 180 degrees

180 - 109 = 71

That would make b 71 degrees

Answer:

71 degrees !!

Explanation:

Since the angles A and B both are next to each other, they form a linear pair. Since they are a linear pair, they both add up to 180 degrees (same as a straight angle!) So, if A is 109, you would simply subtract that from 180, and you'd get 71 !!

180-109= 71 !!

I hope this helps... have a great day !
