Question

What is the measure of angle z in this figure?

x =

Answer 1

• y is vertically opposite to the one whose measure is 43º.

So,

y = 43º.


• x and y are supplementary angles:

x + y = 180º

x = 180º – y

x = 180º – 43º

x = 137º.


• z and x are vertically opposites.

So,

z = x

z = 137º <——— this is the answer.


I hope this helps. =)
