Let's solve each problem step by step based on the image you provided, which is a worksheet titled "Practice: Adjacent and Vertical Angles." The problems involve finding missing angles using properties of adjacent angles and vertical angles.
---
- Adjacent angles: Two angles that share a common vertex and side but do not overlap. If they form a straight line, their sum is 180°.
- Vertical angles: Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines. They are equal in measure.
---
Now, let’s go through each problem:
---
Diagram: Two intersecting lines forming four angles. One angle is labeled 50°.
Since vertical angles are equal:
- The angle opposite 50° is also 50°.
- Adjacent angles add to 180°, so the other two angles (adjacent to 50°) are:
$$
180° - 50° = 130°
$$
✔ Answer: The missing angle is 130°.
---
Diagram: Two intersecting lines. One angle is labeled 120°.
Again, vertical angles are equal → opposite angle is 120°.
Adjacent angles:
$$
180° - 120° = 60°
$$
So the two adjacent angles are 60° each.
✔ Answer: Missing angle is 60°.
---
Diagram: Three rays from one point forming three angles. One angle is 40°, another is 60°, and the third is unknown.
These angles appear to form a full circle around a point? Or maybe a straight line?
Wait — looking at the diagram: It seems like three rays from a common vertex, with angles between them.
But if it's a straight line, then total is 180°.
Assuming the three angles lie along a straight line (sum to 180°):
Given:
- 40°
- 60°
- ?
Then:
$$
\text{Missing angle} = 180° - 40° - 60° = 80°
$$
✔ Answer: 80°
---
Diagram: Two intersecting lines. One angle is labeled 140°.
Vertical angle = 140°
Adjacent angles = 180° - 140° = 40°
So the missing angle (adjacent to 140°) is 40°
✔ Answer: 40°
---
Diagram: Two intersecting lines. One angle is 70°, and another angle is marked as "x".
From the diagram, x appears to be vertical to the 70° angle.
So:
$$
x = 70°
$$
✔ Answer: 70°
---
Diagram: A triangle-like figure with three rays from a single point, forming three angles.
One angle is 90°, another is 30°, and the third is missing.
If these three angles meet at a point and form a full rotation, total = 360°.
But more likely, they form a straight line or are part of a triangle?
Wait — it looks like three rays from a point, with angles between them.
Assume they form a straight line: total = 180°
But there are three angles: 90°, 30°, and ?
Then:
$$
? = 180° - 90° - 30° = 60°
$$
Alternatively, if they are around a point (full circle), total = 360°, but only three angles shown.
But since the angles are drawn in a linear fashion (like a straight line split into parts), we assume straight line.
✔ Answer: 60°
---
Diagram: Two intersecting lines forming angles. One angle is labeled (2x + 10)°, and the adjacent angle is labeled (3x - 15)°.
These two angles are adjacent and form a straight line → sum to 180°
So:
$$
(2x + 10) + (3x - 15) = 180
$$
Simplify:
$$
5x - 5 = 180
$$
Add 5 to both sides:
$$
5x = 185
$$
Divide by 5:
$$
x = 37
$$
Now plug back to find the angle measures:
- First angle: $2(37) + 10 = 74 + 10 = 84°$
- Second angle: $3(37) - 15 = 111 - 15 = 96°$
Now, look for y. Likely, y is the vertical angle to one of these.
Suppose y is vertical to the 84° angle → then $ y = 84° $
But the question says: "write and solve an equation to find the value of y"
Possibility: Maybe y is labeled on another angle.
Looking again — perhaps y is the vertical angle to the (3x - 15) angle → same as that angle.
But unless given a label, assume y is the angle opposite to (2x + 10) → vertical angle → so:
$$
y = 2x + 10
$$
We already found $ x = 37 $, so:
$$
y = 2(37) + 10 = 84°
$$
So:
- Equation for x:
$$
(2x + 10) + (3x - 15) = 180 \Rightarrow 5x - 5 = 180 \Rightarrow x = 37
$$
- Equation for y:
Since y is vertical to $2x + 10$, then:
$$
y = 2x + 10
$$
Plug in $x = 37$:
$$
y = 2(37) + 10 = 84
$$
✔ Final Answers:
- $ x = 37 $
- $ y = 84 $

🔷 Key Concepts:
- Adjacent angles: Two angles that share a common vertex and side but do not overlap. If they form a straight line, their sum is 180°.
- Vertical angles: Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines. They are equal in measure.
---
Now, let’s go through each problem:
---
✔ #1 Find the missing angle.
Diagram: Two intersecting lines forming four angles. One angle is labeled 50°.
Since vertical angles are equal:
- The angle opposite 50° is also 50°.
- Adjacent angles add to 180°, so the other two angles (adjacent to 50°) are:
$$
180° - 50° = 130°
$$
✔ Answer: The missing angle is 130°.
---
✔ #2 Find the missing angle.
Diagram: Two intersecting lines. One angle is labeled 120°.
Again, vertical angles are equal → opposite angle is 120°.
Adjacent angles:
$$
180° - 120° = 60°
$$
So the two adjacent angles are 60° each.
✔ Answer: Missing angle is 60°.
---
✔ #3 Find the missing angle.
Diagram: Three rays from one point forming three angles. One angle is 40°, another is 60°, and the third is unknown.
These angles appear to form a full circle around a point? Or maybe a straight line?
Wait — looking at the diagram: It seems like three rays from a common vertex, with angles between them.
But if it's a straight line, then total is 180°.
Assuming the three angles lie along a straight line (sum to 180°):
Given:
- 40°
- 60°
- ?
Then:
$$
\text{Missing angle} = 180° - 40° - 60° = 80°
$$
✔ Answer: 80°
---
✔ #4 Find the missing angle.
Diagram: Two intersecting lines. One angle is labeled 140°.
Vertical angle = 140°
Adjacent angles = 180° - 140° = 40°
So the missing angle (adjacent to 140°) is 40°
✔ Answer: 40°
---
✔ #5 Find the missing angle.
Diagram: Two intersecting lines. One angle is 70°, and another angle is marked as "x".
From the diagram, x appears to be vertical to the 70° angle.
So:
$$
x = 70°
$$
✔ Answer: 70°

✔ #6 Find the missing angle.
Diagram: A triangle-like figure with three rays from a single point, forming three angles.
One angle is 90°, another is 30°, and the third is missing.
If these three angles meet at a point and form a full rotation, total = 360°.
But more likely, they form a straight line or are part of a triangle?
Wait — it looks like three rays from a point, with angles between them.
Assume they form a straight line: total = 180°
But there are three angles: 90°, 30°, and ?
Then:
$$
? = 180° - 90° - 30° = 60°
$$
Alternatively, if they are around a point (full circle), total = 360°, but only three angles shown.
But since the angles are drawn in a linear fashion (like a straight line split into parts), we assume straight line.
✔ Answer: 60°
---
✔ #7 Write and solve an equation to find the value of x. Then, write and solve an equation to find the value of y.
Diagram: Two intersecting lines forming angles. One angle is labeled (2x + 10)°, and the adjacent angle is labeled (3x - 15)°.
These two angles are adjacent and form a straight line → sum to 180°
So:
$$
(2x + 10) + (3x - 15) = 180
$$
Simplify:
$$
5x - 5 = 180
$$
Add 5 to both sides:
$$
5x = 185
$$
Divide by 5:
$$
x = 37
$$
Now plug back to find the angle measures:
- First angle: $2(37) + 10 = 74 + 10 = 84°$
- Second angle: $3(37) - 15 = 111 - 15 = 96°$
Now, look for y. Likely, y is the vertical angle to one of these.
Suppose y is vertical to the 84° angle → then $ y = 84° $
But the question says: "write and solve an equation to find the value of y"
Possibility: Maybe y is labeled on another angle.
Looking again — perhaps y is the vertical angle to the (3x - 15) angle → same as that angle.
But unless given a label, assume y is the angle opposite to (2x + 10) → vertical angle → so:
$$
y = 2x + 10
$$
We already found $ x = 37 $, so:
$$
y = 2(37) + 10 = 84°
$$
So:
- Equation for x:
$$
(2x + 10) + (3x - 15) = 180 \Rightarrow 5x - 5 = 180 \Rightarrow x = 37
$$
- Equation for y:
Since y is vertical to $2x + 10$, then:
$$
y = 2x + 10
$$
Plug in $x = 37$:
$$
y = 2(37) + 10 = 84
$$
✔ Final Answers:
- $ x = 37 $
- $ y = 84 $
