In a geometric figure two intersecting lines creating four angles. If 1 and 3 are a vertical pair, m 1 = (x + 26 ) and m3=98 what is the value of X?

Answer 1

Since angles 1 and 3 are a vertical pair, they are congruent. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

x + 26 = 98

Subtracting 26 from both sides gives:

x = 72

Therefore, the value of x is 72.
