Question

If angle P measures 50 degrees, what is the measure of angle Q?

A).50°
B).130°
C).40°
D).180°

Answer 1

Answer: B) 180°

Explanation:

Angle P and Q forms a straight line which means they add up to 180 degrees.

So angle P is 50 degrees then we need to find it's supplement.

Using the equation 50 + x = 180 we can solve for x to find the supplement.

50 + x = 180 subtract 50 from both sides

-50 -50

x = 130

Answer 2

130 degrees

Explanation:

Since angles P and Q are supplementary (meaning that they add up to 180), we can set up the equation:

180 = 50 + Q

Q = 130
