Question

East of Star, the railroad tracks intersect highway 23o as shown above. If 1=133 , find 2.

Explain your reasoning!!

Answer 1

Hi there.

These two angles sum up to be 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles. Now, since these angles sum up to 180 degrees (to form a straight line), we only have to subtract 133 from 180 to find angle 2's measurement.

180 - 133 = 47

Angle 2's measurement is 47 degrees.

Voila!

I hope this helps! Have a great day. :)
