Two intersecting lines create four angles;  ∠2 and ∠4  are a vertical pair. Their sum of their measures is equal to 110° . What equation will solve for the value of each angle?(1 point)

___x°=___

1 answer

Given that ∠2 and ∠4 are a vertical pair of angles and their measures add up to 110°, we can express this relationship using the equation:

\[ \angle 2 + \angle 4 = 110° \]

Since ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical angles, their measures are equal:

\[ \angle 2 = \angle 4 \]

If we let \( x \) represent the measure of each angle, we can write:

\[ x + x = 110° \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 2x = 110° \]

To solve for \( x \), we can rearrange the equation:

\[ x = \frac{110°}{2} \]

Thus:

\[ x = 55° \]

So the equation to solve for the value of each angle is:

\[ 2x = 110° \]

Which means both angles measure 55°.

In the requested format:

\[ 2x° = 110° \]
