Examine the diagram above and determine the following: The angle relationship is [ Select ] ["Same-Side Interior Angles", "Vertical Angles", "Congruent Angles", "Supplementary Angles"] The value of x is equal to [ Select ] ["20°", "22°", "19°", "25°"] The measure of the missing angle is [ Select ] ["29°", "151°", "161°", "141°"]

Solution

In the provided diagram, two intersecting lines create opposite angles. The angle marked as 2929^\circ and the angle labeled 6x+16x + 1 are vertical angles, which means they are congruent (equal in measure).

To solve for xx, we can set the two angles equal to each other:

6x+1=296x + 1 = 29

Step 1: Solve for xx

Subtract 1 from both sides:

6x=2916x = 29 - 1 6x=286x = 28

Now, divide both sides by 6:

x=286=4.67x = \frac{28}{6} = 4.67

Thus, x4.67x \approx 4.67.

Step 2: Determine the missing angle

Since the angles are vertical and equal, the missing angle is also 2929^\circ.

Answer Key:

  1. Angle relationship: Vertical Angles (because they are opposite and equal).
  2. Value of xx: Approximately 4.674.67 (not one of the listed values, but closest match may need a revision).
  3. Measure of the missing angle: 2929^\circ (since they are congruent).

Here are five related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. What is the definition of vertical angles, and how are they formed?
  2. Can vertical angles ever be supplementary?
  3. What is the relationship between same-side interior angles?
  4. How would you solve for xx if the angles were supplementary instead of congruent?
  5. What other types of angle relationships can you identify in intersecting lines?

Tip: Always verify the type of angle relationship before solving for unknowns!
