Two angles, ∠1
and ∠2
, in a diagram are supplementary. If m∠1=77°
, what equation can you write to solve for m∠2
? Let m∠2=x°
(1 point)
Responses
x°+77°=90°
x plus 77 degrees equals 90 degrees
x°=90°−77°
x equals 90 degrees minus 77 degrees
x°=77°
x equals 77 degrees
x°+77°=180°
1 answer
Since angles ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees. Given that \( m∠1 = 77° \) and letting \( m∠2 = x° \), the equation you would write to solve for \( m∠2 \) is:
\[ x° + 77° = 180° \]
So the correct response is:
x° + 77° = 180°
