Question

Two lines meet at a point that is also the endpoint of a ray. Set up and solve an equation to find the value of w.

​

Answer 1

w=35

Explanation:

See the angle to the right of 125? Put those angles together, and you get 180 degrees. For starters, we want to find the measure of the angle to the right of 125.

180-125=55

We can basically do this all over again to find w. The angle 55 + w + the square angle is 180 degrees. You can tell by the flat line. So we will find w like this:

180-90-55=w

Thus, w equals 35
