Question

What is the measure of angle z in this figure?

Enter your answer in the box.

z =
°

Answer 1

Linear pair angles are supplementary

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow z+124=180`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow z=180-124`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow z=56`

Answer 2

z = 56°

Explanation:

Angle on a straight line add up to 180°

Therefore, 124 + z = 180

⇒ z = 180 - 124 = 56°
