Math Problem Statement
Find the measure of angle ∠AGE in the figure below. Enter only the number.
Solution
In this figure, we are asked to find the measure of angle .
Here's the reasoning:
- is given as .
- and are vertical angles (since they are formed by intersecting lines), and vertical angles are congruent.
- Therefore, the measure of .
Thus, the solution is:
