Question

18)Angel A and angle b are vertical angles so they are congruent angles. If angle A is (4x+5)° and angle B (-2(x-17.5))° Find the measure of angle B​

Answer 1

Measure of Angle B = 25°

Explanation:

Something to keep in mind: Angle A and B are Vertical Angles so they will always be equal

so;

Angle A = Angle B

(4x + 5) = (-2(x - 17.5))

4x + 5 = -2x + 35 (<= Solved by distributive property)

6x + 5 = 35

6x = 30

x = 5

Now we can find the measure of Angle B, by substituting x by 5 in the B equation;

-2 (x - 17.5) = Angle B

-2 (5 - 17.5) = Angle

-2 (-12.5) = Angel B

25 = Angle B

so measure of angle B = 25

Hope this helps!
