When Two Lines Intersect as in the Illustration Below, Four $\angle 1$

question 2

Multiple Choice

When two lines intersect as in the illustration below, four angles are formed. Angles that are side-by-side, such as $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ , are called adjacent angles. Angles that are nonadjacent, such as $\angle 1$ and $\angle 3$ or $\angle 2$ and $\angle 4$ , are called vertical angles. From geometry, we know that if two lines intersect, vertical angles have the same measure. If $m ( \angle 1 ) = ( 5 x + 10 ) ^ { \circ }$ and $m ( \angle 3 ) = ( 7 x - 10 ) ^ { \circ }$ , find x . Read $m ( \angle 1 )$ as "the measure of $\angle 1$ ".

• A)x = 11
• B)x = 15
• C)x = 6
• D)x = 8
• E)x = 10
