Two adjacent angles, 21 and 22, form a resulting angle that measures 135 ° If m21 = (2x) ° and m 2 = (2x + 7) what are the two unknown angle measures?

M<1 =
M<2 =

Choose two:
• 32
• 64
• 71
•158

1 answer

Let's solve for the unknown angles using the given information:

The sum of angles 21 and 22 is equal to the resulting angle:

m21 + m22 = 135

Substituting the given expressions for the measures of angles 21 and 22:

2x + 2x + 7 = 135

Combining like terms:

4x + 7 = 135

Subtracting 7 from both sides:

4x = 128

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 32

Now we can substitute this value of x back into the expressions for the angles:

m21 = 2x = 2(32) = 64 degrees

m22 = 2x + 7 = 2(32) + 7 = 64 + 7 = 71 degrees

Therefore, the two unknown angle measures are:

m21 = 64 degrees
m22 = 71 degrees

The correct choices are:
• 64
• 71
