Answer 1

Answer:

b = 55 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles 30, a, b and 45 must sum up to 180 degrees

Subtracting (30 + 45) from both sides leaves us with a + b = 105 degrees.

But b = a + 5.  Substituting a + 5 in the equation above yields

a + a + 5 = 105 degrees, so that

2a = 100 degrees, and a = 50 degrees.  Then b = a + 5, or b = 55 degrees.
