What is the measure of the adjacent angle that is formed by two intersecting lines if one angle is 112*? Set up an equation to show your work, then solve the angle.

Answer 1

Let angle A be 112° and let angle B be the adjacent angle we are trying to find.

The sum of adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines is 180°.

So, we can set up the equation:
A + B = 180°
112° + B = 180°
B = 180° - 112°
B = 68°

Therefore, the measure of the adjacent angle B is 68°.
