Question

what is the value of p? 61.4° p 35.9°

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of vertical angles

Vertical angles are equal. So the sum of \(p\) and \(35.9^{\circ}\) is equal to the vertical - angle of \(61.4^{\circ}\).

Step2: Set up the equation

We have the equation \(p + 35.9^{\circ}=61.4^{\circ}\).

Step3: Solve for \(p\)

Subtract \(35.9^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation: \(p=61.4^{\circ}-35.9^{\circ}\).

$$p = 25.5^{\circ}$$

Answer:

\(25.5\)
