If m∠6=140° what is m∠7 ?
Responses:
40°
50°
180°
140°

1 answer

To find the measure of angle \( m∠7 \), we can use the fact that angles that are on a straight line (linear pairs) sum up to \( 180^\circ \).

Since \( m∠6 = 140^\circ \), we can find \( m∠7 \) as follows:

\[ m∠6 + m∠7 = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the known value:

\[ 140^\circ + m∠7 = 180^\circ \]

Now, subtract \( 140^\circ \) from both sides:

\[ m∠7 = 180^\circ - 140^\circ \] \[ m∠7 = 40^\circ \]

Therefore, the measure of \( m∠7 \) is \( 40^\circ \).

The correct response is 40°.
