Question

If the measure of ∠H
is 83°
, what is the measure of ∠X
? Explain.

(1 point)

∠X=97°
because corresponding angles are supplementary.

∠X=277°
because corresponding angles sum to 360°
.

∠X=7°
because corresponding angles sum are complementary.

∠X=83°
because corresponding angles are congruent.

Answer 1

∠X = 83°.

Reason: ∠H and ∠X are corresponding angles (formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines), and corresponding angles are congruent, so they have equal measures. The other choices confuse corresponding with supplementary (180°), complementary (90°), or full-circle (360°) relationships.
