Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines and are congruent to each other. Therefore, m<1 = m<3.
So, we can set up the equation:
4x + 26 = 3x + 32
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x + 26 = 32
Subtracting 26 from both sides, we get:
x = 6
Now, we can substitute x back into either of the original expressions to find the measure of each angle. Let's use m<1:
m<1 = 4x + 26
m<1 = 4(6) + 26
m<1 = 24 + 26
m<1 = 50 degrees
Therefore, each angle measures 50 degrees.
For two verticals angles with measures m<1=(4x+26) degrees and m<3=(3x+32) degrees , what is the measure of each angle
