Step 1
<u>Find the value of x</u>
we know that
-------> by corresponding angles, because the given lines are parallel
Solve for x
Step 2
<u>Find the value of y</u>
we know that
substitute the value of x and solve for y
therefore
<u>the answer is the option B</u>
The answer is 8:14. this can be simplified to 4:7 (divide by 2).
Dude stop commenting that people need real answer not a link
Answer:
x = 129.8 degrees, y = 50.2 degrees, x + y = 180
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say you have 2 supplementary angles, x and y
So x + y = 180
if x is 79.8 degrees less than the measure of a supplementary angle, then x = y - 79.8
Putting this into our x + y = 180 equation, we get
(y - 79.8) + y = 180
2y - 79.8 = 180
2y = 180 + 79.8
2y = 259.8
y = 259.8/2 = 129.9 degrees.
so x = 129.9 - 79.6 = 50.3 degrees.
See if it worked. x = 129.9 degrees, y = 50.3 degrees, x + y = 180 so we found the correct two angles! :-)
