Question

Calculate the size of the unmarked angle:

160

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the value of the empty angle
00:03 A straight angle equals 180
00:06 Therefore subtract the known angle from it to find the empty angle
00:09 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

The unmarked angle is adjacent to an angle of 160 degrees.

Remember: the sum of adjacent angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore, the size of the unknown angle is:

180160=20 180-160=20
