If two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees.
Given that m∠D = (4x+8)° and m∠E = (x+17)°, we can set up the equation:
(4x+8)° + (x+17)° = 180°
Combine like terms:
5x + 25 = 180
Subtract 25 from both sides:
5x = 155
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 31
Substitute this value back into the equation for ∠D:
m∠D = 4(31)+8 = 132°
Since ∠F is a vertical angle with ∠D, ∠F will also have a measure of 132°.
If there are two supplementary angles, ∠D and ∠E , where m∠D=(4x+8)° and m∠E=(x+17)° , and ∠F is a vertical angle with ∠D , what is the measure of ∠F ?

In a geometric diagram, ∠A and ∠B are complementary, and they form a straight line with ∠C . If m∠A=x° , m∠B=(2x)° , and m∠C=90° , what is the measure of ∠B ?(1 point)
If two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.
Given that m∠A = x° and m∠B = (2x)°, we can set up the equation:
x° + (2x)° = 90°
Combine like terms:
3x° = 90°
Divide both sides by 3:
x° = 30°
Now, substitute this value back into the equation for ∠B:
m∠B = 2(30°) = 60°
Therefore, the measure of ∠B is 60°.
Given that m∠A = x° and m∠B = (2x)°, we can set up the equation:
x° + (2x)° = 90°
Combine like terms:
3x° = 90°
Divide both sides by 3:
x° = 30°
Now, substitute this value back into the equation for ∠B:
m∠B = 2(30°) = 60°
Therefore, the measure of ∠B is 60°.
