Question

3 lines are shown. A line with points M, H, K intersects a line with points J, H, L at point H. A line extends from point H to point P between angle K H J. Angle M H L is 140 degrees and angle K H P is 20 degrees.
What is mAnglePHJ?

100°
120°
140°
160°

Answer 1

120°

Reason: HM and HK are opposite rays (and HJ and HL are opposite), so angle MHL = angle K H J = 140°. Since HP lies inside that angle and angle KHP = 20°, angle PHJ = 140° − 20° = 120°.
