Question

Given: l | | m m 1 = 140° m 3 = 50° m 6 =

Answer 1

Answer:

m∠6 = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 and ∠2 are a linear pair.  This means they are supplementary, or their measures sum to 180°.  To find m∠2, we subtract m∠1 from 180:

180-140 = 40°

The measure of ∠2 is 40°.

The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°.  We have ∠2 and ∠3; to find the measure of ∠6, we subtract these two from 180:

180-(40+50) = 180-90 = 90°
