Example Questions

Example Question #59 : Geometry

The figure represents a set of supplementary angles, solve for \displaystyle x.


12

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 9^\circ

\displaystyle 7^\circ

\displaystyle 5^\circ

\displaystyle 6^\circ

\displaystyle 8^\circ

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 6^\circ

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are defined as two angles that when added together equal \displaystyle 180^\circ

From the question, we know that the two angles are supplementary, and thus equal \displaystyle 180^\circ, so we can set up the following equation:

\displaystyle x+174=180

Next we can solve for \displaystyle x:

\displaystyle \frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}x+174=180\\ -174-174\end{array}}{x= 6}

1

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 94^\circ

\displaystyle 86^\circ

\displaystyle 90^\circ

\displaystyle 114^\circ

\displaystyle 87^\circ

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 94^\circ

Explanation:

A pair of intersecting angles is illustrated by the provided image. 

\displaystyle 94^\circ and \displaystyle x are vertical angles because they share the same vertex, or corner spot. Vertical angles are always equal; thus, \displaystyle x=94^\circ
