Question

Tell whether the angles are vertical or adjacent. Then find the measure of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

adjacent. x=55

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Adjacent

x=55

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are made by the same lines but are opposite of each other. These angles are not opposite, and thus they are not vertical. Adjacent angles, on the other hand, share a common side and vertex. In other words, they touch. So, since these share both a common side and vertex, they are adjacent.

Additionally, the large-angle (that contains the smaller, adjacent angles) is a right angle, meaning that it has a measure of 90 degrees. So, if we know that part of the angle is 35 degrees, then the missing angle must be equal to 90-35. 90-35=55 degrees.
