Respuesta :

the answer should be m angle 6 = 54°

we know that

a) By corresponding angles

m∠6=m∠2

b) By vertical angles

m∠6=[tex](5x+9)\°[/tex]

so

m∠2=[tex](5x+9)\°[/tex] --------> equation [tex]1[/tex]

c) By supplementary angles

[tex](13x+9)\°[/tex]+m∠2=[tex]180\°[/tex] --------> equation [tex]2[/tex]

substitute equation [tex]1[/tex] in equation [tex]2[/tex]

[tex](13x+9)\°+(5x+9)\°=180\°[/tex]

[tex](18x+18)\°=180\°[/tex]

[tex]18x=180-18[/tex]

[tex]x=9\°[/tex]

Find m∠6

m∠6=[tex](5*9+9)\°[/tex]

m∠6=[tex]54\°[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the measure of the angle 6 is [tex]54\°[/tex]
