Question

Eduardo drew two adjacent angles that form a straight angle. The measure of one of the angles is 37°.
Let m represent the measure of the second angle. Which equation models the problem?
37+m=180
m–37=180
Solve this equation to find the measure of the second angle.

To find the measure of the second angle \( m \), we can use the fact that the two adjacent angles form a straight angle, which measures \( 180^\circ \).

Given that one angle measures \( 37^\circ \), we can set up the equation as follows:

\[
37 + m = 180
\]

Now, let's solve this equation for \( m \).

1. Subtract \( 37 \) from both sides:
\[
m = 180 - 37
\]
2. Calculate:
\[
m = 143
\]

Therefore, the measure of the second angle is \( 143^\circ \).
