Math Problem Statement

Find the value of the unknown angle n in the intersecting lines with given angles 37° and 44°.

Solution

The image shows two intersecting lines forming vertical angles. There are two angles given: 3737^\circ and 4444^\circ, with an unknown angle labeled nn.

Since the lines form vertical angles, opposite angles are equal. Therefore, angle nn is equal to the sum of 37+44=8137^\circ + 44^\circ = 81^\circ, because these angles are adjacent on a straight line (which sums up to 180180^\circ).

Thus, n=81n = 81^\circ.
