Question

Two straight lengths of wire are placed on the ground, forming vertical angles. If the measure of one of these angles is 72 degrees, what are the measures of the other three angles. Explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer: 108, 108, and 72 degrees

Explanation:

Angle A = 72

Angle B = Angle D

Angle C = 72 (Since it is congruent to Angle A)

Angle D = Angle B

Since Angle A and C are congruent, so are angles B and D. Now you would have to subtract 72 from 180.

180 - 72 = 108

Angle A = 72

Angle B = 108

Angle C = 72

Angle D = 108

Answer 2

they need to equal 180 degrees

180-72 = 108 degrees
