blocks apart would the two schools be if you could walk straight from
one school to the other?

9(8) − 8 = 72 − 8 = 64 1. c = 15
∠x = 180 − 64 = 116 2. c = 26
m∠x = 116° 3. c = 12.5
2. m∠x = 48° Angle x and the angle marked 4. 10.4 m

35° angle. I can use those measures to
add because the angles are congruent.
4. m∠x = 70° − 30° = 40° The angle marked
70° and the angles marked x and 30° are
alternate interior angles and therefore
congruent. I can subtract 30° from 70° to
find the missing part, x, of the angle.
