Answer:
Measure of angle 2 = 82°
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠1 = (10 x + 8)°
m∠3 = (12 x - 10)°
2 lines are said to intersect to form 4 angles. And the labelling of the angles was done starting from top left, clockwise: the angles are 1, 2, 3, 4.
Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.
Vertical angles are angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. As such, they are equal to each other.
Considering our diagram
m∠1 = m∠3
m∠2 = m∠4
Sum of all four angles firmed = 360° (sum of angles at a point)
m∠1 +m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 = 360°
m∠1 = m∠3
(10 x + 8)°= (12 x - 10)°
10x-12x = -10-8
-2x = -18
x= 9°
Also m∠2 = m∠4, let each equal to y
(10 x + 8)°+ y + (12 x - 10)° + y = 360
10x + 12x - 10 +8 +2y = 360
Insert value of x
22(9) -2 + 2y = 360
2y = 360-196
2y = 164
y = 82°
m∠2 = m∠4 = y = 82°
Measure of angle 2 = 82°
