Answer:

B = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

A + B + C = 180

40 + 2x-30 + x+20 = 180

Combine like terms

3x + 30 = 180

Subtract 30 from each side

3x+30-30 = 180-30

3x = 150

Divide by 3

3x/3 =150/3

x = 50

We want to find angle B

B = 2x-30

=2(50) - 30

= 100 - 30

= 70

The figure below shows a straight line AB intersected by another straight line t:

BaLLatris [955]

When two straight lines intersect, the pairs of nonadjacent angles in opposite posi-tions are known as vertical angles.

If a segment AB is intersected by a transversal labeled t, then ∠1 and ∠3 and ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically angles formed by the transversal t on the segment AB.

Angles ∠1 and ∠2 can be described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Angles ∠3 and ∠2 can be also described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 3+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Subtract from the first equation the second equation:

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2-(m\angle 3+m\angle 2)=180^{\circ}-180^{\circ},\\ m\angle 1-m\angle 3=0,\\ m\angle 1=m\angle 3$ .

Similarly you can prove that $m\angle 2=m\angle 4$ .
