Math Problem Statement
The missing angle below is ___ degrees. Given angle: 53°.
Solution
The image shows a diagram of two intersecting lines forming angles, with one angle labeled as . The problem asks to find the measure of the missing angle.
These angles are vertically opposite angles, which means they are congruent. Vertically opposite angles are always equal when two straight lines intersect.
Therefore, the missing angle is also .
