You are given that angle GHJ is a complement of angle RST and angle RST is a supplement of angle ABC. Let the measurement of angle GHJ be x°. What is the measure of angle ABC?
Accepted Solution
A:
GHJ = x
GHJ (or x) is a compliment of RST....complimentary angles, when added = 90...so RST = (90 - x)
RST is a supplement of ABC....supplementary angles, when added = 180...so ABC = (180 - RST)...and remember RST = (90 - x)
