Question

In the diagram, angle 1 = 4x + 30, and angle 3 = 2x +48.

Answer 1

Answer:

Since we have the information for Angles 1 and 3, and they are vertical, we can set them equal to each other. Once we have done this we can find the measures of them combined, and subtract it from 360 in order to only have the measure of 2 and its vertical angle. Finally, all we need to do now is divide the remaining measure by 2, and this will give us the measure of angle 2.

Angle 1=Angle 3

4x+30=2x+48

2x+30=48

2x=18

x=9

Angle 1=4(9)+30

Angle 1=36+30

Angle 1=66

Angle 1=Angle 3

Angle 1+ Angle 3=132

360-132=228

228/2=114

Angle 2= 114
