The adjacent angles ∠1 and ∠2 have measures of 38, 142 76, 104 28, 152 https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_2012/7/group123.gif

OpenStudy (mven):

38, 42 right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm what did you get for angle 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah what did you get for angle 1

OpenStudy (mven):

im pretty sure 1 is 38

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle 2 would be 180-38=142

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but only if angle one is 38

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

38 and 42 makes them "complementary angles" but 1 and 2 are colinear, and thus "supplementary angles"

OpenStudy (mven):

for angle 1 i did \[\angle= (arc1+arc2)/2\]

OpenStudy (imstuck):

The rule is that angle 1 wouldd be equal to half the sum of the 36 and the 40. 36+40=76. 76/2=38. So angle 1 is 38, and angle 2 is 180-38=142

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

actaully... not even you'd need 2 to be 52 to be complementary.. anyhow.... notice 1 and 2 are supplementary angles

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

@MVen you're correct, that is 38 but 2 is a supplementary angle to 1 thus they make up 180 degrees, notice the flat line they lie on
