Question

Geometry Help please!
If m∠APW = 20°, then the measure of ∠WPZ is

20
70
90
160

Answer 1

Ok, do you know what the measure of a straight angle is ?

Answer 2

First, you need to try to find the already given angle measures. For example, what does a square in a corner mean in an angle ? What does that square mean?

Answer 3

Yes, 180. I know to subtract 180 - 20 which equals 160 just needed to know if that's correct or not?

Yes, that is correct. Now, for the angle on the right. Do you know how much that angle equals?

Answer 5

90 degrees. Do I need to do something with that?

To find WPZ, you need to add the 90 degrees and the 20 degrees, and then subtract that from the whole angle measure(180 degrees).

Answer 7

Ahh gotcha!

Answer 8

So are you clear now? Do you have anymore questions?

Answer 9

So then it would be 70. No further questions. Thank you!
