Question

What is the measure in degrees of 2 show your work explain your answer Help

Answer 1

Answer:

45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

because 2 and 5 are vertical angles they are therefore congruent by definition, 5 is half of one and one is a right angle so measure angle 2 = 45 degrees

Answer 2

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of all 6 angles make a circle, which equals 360°. Using the information below the figure,

2 * m∠5 = 90°, since 2 * m∠5 = m∠1 and ∠1 is a right angle.

Because ∠1, ∠5, and ∠6 are on one side of line L, they must equal 180°, and if ∠1 equals 90°,

m∠5 + m∠6=90°.

Since 2 * m∠5=m∠1 and m∠1=90°, m∠1 must be 45°. And by Transitive Property, m∠6 also equals 90°.

If the total measure of the angles is 360° and ∠1, ∠5, and ∠6 add up to 180°, ∠2, ∠3, and ∠4 must also add to 180°.

m∠6=m∠3 - 20°. We know that m∠6 is 45°, so we put that into an equation. I am going to use x as the measure of ∠3.

45=x-20  >>>  20+45=x-20+20  >>>  20+45=x  >>>  65=x  >>>  x=m∠3  >>>  m∠3=65

m∠3=m∠4, so m∠3+m∠4=65+65, or 130. And like I said above, ∠2, ∠3, and ∠4 must add to 180°. 180 minus 130 (the measure of ∠3 + ∠4) = 50, which has to be the measure of ∠2
