Math Problem Statement
What is the value of angle b in the diagram where two intersecting lines form an angle of 56°, and angle b appears to be complementary to 56°?
Solution
The diagram you've shared shows two intersecting lines forming an angle, with one of the angles marked as , and another angle labeled , which appears to be a complementary angle (forming a right angle with a third line).
To find , you can use the fact that these two angles are complementary. Complementary angles sum up to . So, we can write the equation:
Solving for :
Thus, the value of is .
