Answer:
- The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that when two lines meet or intersect, we get a linear pair of angles.
Linear pairs are basically two adjacent angles that form a line.
The measure of two adjacent angles forming a straight line is 180, meaning they are supplementary.
We are given that <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, and
m∠1 = 4m∠2
It means the angle ∠1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2.
Let the angle ∠1 be = x
As the angle 1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2, so
The angle 2 will be = 4x
As <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, thus the measure of the sum of <1 and <2 will be 180°, so
x + 4x = 180
5x = 180
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 180/5
x = 36°
Therefore,
- The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°
