The answer is C) m∠1 + m∠2 = 90
Explanation: So ∠1 is x and ∠2 is x-4
Basically you know than ∠3 is 90° ... And a straight line is 180° .. So technically we can just find out 180-90 is 90(the other angle 1 + 2).
To get 90° we'll add ∠1 and ∠2 in other ways, like technical thinking-
So you already know adding ∠1 and ∠2 is 90°. So ∠1 + ∠2 = 90°
In other words you can say m∠1 + m∠2 = 90
To solve this problem, we first have to convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the unit (5) times the denominator (2) and then add the numerator (1) to the product, while still keeping the same denominator.
(5 * 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11/2
Now, this makes our expression: 11/2 - 2/3
Next, we have to find a common denominator for 2 and 3 by finding their shared LCM, or least common multiple. In this case, the LCM is 6. This means that we are going to convert both of the fractions in the expression into fractions with the denominator 6, so that we can easily compute the subtraction.
11 * 3 / 2 * 3 - 2 * 2 / 3 * 2
33/6 - 4/6
Now, we can simply subtract the numerators to find our final answer.
29/6
Your final answer is 29/6.
Hope this helps!
