Math Problem Statement

find the missing angles

Find the missing angle in an intersecting line where one angle is 105°.

Solution

The image shows two intersecting lines that form four angles. Two of the angles are marked, one with 105105^\circ and the other with xx. Since these are vertically opposite angles, they are equal.

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Identify the Angles:

    • The angles marked 105105^\circ and xx are vertically opposite.
    • Vertically opposite angles are equal. Therefore, x=105x = 105^\circ.
  2. Find the Other Pair of Vertically Opposite Angles:

    • The sum of angles on a straight line is 180180^\circ.
    • Thus, the angle adjacent to 105105^\circ is: 180105=75.180^\circ - 105^\circ = 75^\circ.
    • The angle vertically opposite to 7575^\circ is also 7575^\circ.

Conclusion:

  • x=105x = 105^\circ
  • The other two angles are 7575^\circ each.
