Question

What is the measure of angle VYZ

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf C. \ 161 ^{ \circ}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles are also congruent angles, meaning they are equal or have the same measurement.

$\sf \implies \angle VYZ = \angle WYT \\ \\ \sf \implies(8x + 1) ^{ \circ} = (9x - 19)^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies 8x^{ \circ} + 1^{ \circ} = 9x^{ \circ} - 19^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies 8x^{ \circ} - 9x^{ \circ} + 1^{ \circ} = - 19^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies - x^{ \circ} = - 19^{ \circ} - 1^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \cancel{ -} x^{ \circ} = \cancel{- }20^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies x^{ \circ} = 20^{ \circ}$

$\therefore$

$\sf \implies \angle VYZ =(8x + 1) ^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \angle VYZ =(8 \times 20 + 1) ^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \angle VYZ =( 160+ 1) ^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \angle VYZ =161 ^{ \circ}$
