Now I understand the problem.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What is the measure of x? (Hint: remember vertical angles.) |dw:1393742713788:dw|

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

91!

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

well i g2g but plz tell me the answer and how to understand it :(

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. What's the measure of angle y? (Remember that 91 and y are a linear pair and supplementary.) |dw:1393742832253:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Once you get y, then you have one more angle, which is z. z is vertical with y, so their measures are equal. |dw:1393742999678:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now look at your original figure and see where the angles are and you can answer the question.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

its B?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

the way they are phrased is confusing to me

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Column A Column B m<AOD = 89 m<DOC = 91 smaller angle larger angle

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):
