Question

Angle G and H are vertical angles. If angle G is 45 degrees and angle H is 2x degrees, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent by the vertical angles theorem. Therefore is angle G is 45 degrees, then that means that angle H must be 45 degrees as well.

The value of x can be found by making the expression that represents angle H (2x) equal to 45 in an equation to solve for x.

2x = 45

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 22.5
