Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles are better known as corresponding angles, and since the two lines are parallel, then the angles must be congruent. This means x = 115 degrees.
C. The values of x is 115 because the two angles shown are congruent.
<u>Why the other answers are wrong:</u>
A & B are wrong because it states the two angles are supplementary, but supplementary angles have to add up to 180 degrees and 115+115 is 230 not 180.
D is wrong because there's no logical explanation to why you would subtract 90 degrees from 115 to solve for x.
Answer:
A. is correct answer

Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 37 degrees ( vertical angle to 37 )
c = 180 - 37 = 143 degrees (adjacent angles add up to 180).
b = 180 - 37 - 109 = 34 degrees (angles in a triangle sum to 180 degrees).
If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL
JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7
The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = 4</u>
<u>JL</u> = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = <u>14</u>
<u>KL</u> = JK =<u> 7</u>
