Question

Xº
55⁰
Find the measure of angle x.
40


Help me with this please

Answer 1

Answer: 85 degrees

Explanation:

The sum of all the angle (x, 55, 40) has to be 180 degrees because the entire angle is a straight angle which is 180 degrees.

So x+55+40=180.

So x+95=180

So x=85 degrees

Answer 2

x = 85°

Explanation:

A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles that are supplementary, meaning that their sum is 180 degrees.

Using this:

We have:

x° + 55° + 40° = 180°

Simplify like terms

x° + 95° = 180°

Subtracting 95° on both sides,

x° + 95° - 95° = 180° - 95°

x° = 85°

Therefore, the measure of angle x is 85°
