Answer:


\boxed{\sf Yes}\;;\textsf{because $\angle 9$ and $\angle7$ are \boxed{\sf vertical} angles, $m \angle 9=$ \boxed{\sf 90\; degrees}}\;.


\textsf{Because $\angle6$ and $\angle8$ are \boxed{\sf complementary} angles, $m\angle6+m\angle8=$\;\boxed{\sf 90\;degrees}}\;.


\textsf{Thus}, \; \boxed{\sf m\angle9 = m\angle6 + m\angle8}\;.

Explanation:

Vertical Angles Theorem

When two straight lines intersect, the opposite vertical angles are congruent.

Therefore, ∠9 and ∠7 are vertical angles and:

⇒ m∠9 = m∠7 = 90°

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°

⇒ m∠6 + m∠8 + m∠7 = 180°

⇒ m∠6 + m∠8 + 90° = 180°

⇒ m∠6 + m∠8 = 90°

Complementary Angles

Two angles whose measures sum to 90°.

Therefore, ∠6 and ∠8 are complementary angles and:

⇒ m∠6 + m∠8 = 90°

As m∠9 = 90° and m∠6 + m∠8 = 90° then:

⇒ m∠6 + m∠8 = m∠9
