Question

∠7 and ∠8 are linear angles and m∠7 is 4 times that of m∠8. Find m∠8 please show work! i already know the answer but I need the work so that i can understand it :) (the answer is 36 degrees)

Answer 1

Answer:

36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m∠8 = x°

Therefore, m∠7 = 4x°

Since, ∠7 and ∠8 are linear angles.

Therefore,

m∠7 + m∠8= 180°

4x° + x° = 180°

5x° = 180°

x° = 180°/5

x° = 36°

x = 36

Hence,

m∠8 = 36°
