In the diagram, which of the following pairs of angles have
measures whose sum is equal to ?
Problem 189
Pick one
Official solution
[[IMAGE0]]
Opposite angles are equal in measure and so since it is opposite the
angle whose measure is given as .
By a property of parallel lines, the angles whose measures are and form a "C pattern", and are
supplementary.
Thus or .
Since the angle whose measure is
is opposite the angle whose measure is , then .
Since , then
from the given answers, and are the pair of angles whose measures
sum to .
Of the answers given, we confirm that no other pair of angles have
measures whose sum is by
determining the measures of each of the missing angles, as shown.
