Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a horizontal line with arrows at both ends. Another line with arrows at both ends extends from top right to bottom left and intersects the horizontal line in the center. The intersecting line creates 4 angles. The angle at the top left is labeled x degrees. The angle at top right is labeled y degrees. The angles at bottom left and right below the horizontal line are not labeled.

What is the value of x if y°=71° ?

Answer 1

The answer should be 109°

180-71=109

I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

Since the intersecting line creates vertical angles, the angle at the bottom left is also y degrees. Thus, x = y = 71°.

Answer 3

You are correct, I apologize for the mistake. The value of x is indeed 109°. Thank you for pointing that out.
