Vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect. Therefore, if ∠1 and ∠2 are vertical angles, they are equal in measure.
Given that m∠1 = (2x-16)° and m∠2 = 98°, we can set up the following equation:
(2x-16)° = 98°
Simplifying the equation:
2x-16 = 98
Adding 16 to both sides:
2x = 114
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 57
Therefore, the equation that will solve for x is 2x-16 = 98.
There are two vertical angles in a figure with measures m∠1=(2x−16)° and m∠2=98° . What equation will solve for x
