Question

the measure of angle 1 is twice the measure of angle 2, and angle 1 and angle 2 are linear pair. Find the measure of angle 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

m<1=120

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair adds up to 180 degrees.

So <1+<2=180

Let <2=X, that would make <1=2X because <1 is 2 times more.

So substitute that into the equation.

2x+x=180.

Combine like terms and get 3x=180

Divide both sides by 3 and get x=60.

Substitute that into <1 and get <1=120
