Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer is 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay if you look at the picture, 95 degrees' supplementary angle is 85 degrees. A supplementary angle means it adds up to 180°. So that means the angle that is supplementary to 85 is 95. **Keep in mind since they did not tell that the sides are parallel you cannot assume that 95° and angle x° are vertical so this is the safest way to solve the problem**
