Question

Elena and Diego each wrote equations to represent these diagrams. For

*
poin
each diagram, decide which equation you agree with, and solve it. You
can assume that angles that look like right angles are indeed right angles.
2. Elena: 35 + w + 41 = 180
Diego: w + 35 = 180
35°
41°

Answer 1

Elena is correct

Explanation:

This is because a straight angle is always equal to 180 therefore in order to find the value of *w* you would have to add up to angles that are given and subtract them from 180, or in this case add up all the angles including *w* to get 180.
