Question

Two intersecting lines create four angles; 1 and 3 are a vertical pair. The sum of their measure is eqto 68°which equation solves for the value each angle

Answer 1

Let's suppose that angle 1 measures x degrees. Since angles 1 and 3 are a vertical pair, angle 3 also measures x degrees.

Given that the sum of their measures is equal to 68°, we can write the equation:

x + x = 68

Simplifying the equation, we have:

2x = 68

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

x = 34

Therefore, angle 1 measures 34° and angle 3 also measures 34°.
