You're given 6 diagrams where two angles lie on a
straight line. As the instructions say:
> *Remember, the two angles should add up to 180° because they are in a straight line!*
This is the key concept:
angles on a straight line are supplementary, meaning their measures sum to
180°.
We’ll solve each one by subtracting the given angle from 180°.
---
1) Find a°
Given angle = 47°
So,
a = 180 - 47 = 133°
✔ a = 133°
---
2) Find x°
Given angle = 118°
So,
x = 180 - 118 = 62°
✔ x = 62°
---
3) Find n°
Here, both angles are labeled
n°, and they form a straight line.
So:
n + n = 180
→
2n = 180
→
n = 90°
✔ n = 90°
*(This also makes sense — it’s a right angle split into two equal parts by a perpendicular line.)*
---
4) Find y°
Given angle = 134°
So,
y = 180 - 134 = 46°
✔ y = 46°
---
5) Find b°
Given angle = 153°
So,
b = 180 - 153 = 27°
✔ b = 27°
---
6) Find g°
Given angle = 165°
So,
g = 180 - 165 = 15°
✔ g = 15°
---
##
✔ Final Answers:
1)
a = 133°
2)
x = 62°
3)
n = 90°
4)
y = 46°
5)
b = 27°
6)
g = 15°
